2 books i look for answers are
KJV Bible and
The Farmers Almanac!
when you think about it,
70 to 80% accuracy for the
entire year beats 7 days advance
weather notice from other sources.
In spite of the untold billions of dollar
weather forecasters invested, they
still can't always long range predict things as
accurately as TFA! They always have
to fall back on radar for the minute
by minute action. But TFA isn't afraid
to go out on the limb! And TFA doesn't
pull the "presume we know it all" as you
will see time and again with your favorite
news program weather portion.

Why is 2021 still active? Shouldn't 2022 be active?
Hi Sandra, In The 2022 Old Farmer’s Almanac, we report on how accurate we predicted the weather the prior winter (so, winter of 2020–2021). If you are looking for this coming season’s predictions (2021–2022), they are available in the new edition on sale now. You can also find the general winter summary here: www.Almanac.com/winter
this sucks last winter we in the north east philadelphia did not have a winter ...it should be 20 below here around Sept/Oct/Dec what we get 70 to 80 degree temps this is not cally we got no snow no cold ...that is not the way it should be...hope this almanac is wrong this year and we here in philly get record cold maybe 14 to 20 inch snow storms freezing artic tempertures not summer give us real winter
Most of the projections for the Lower Lakes were close to the mark, although August turned out to be a near oven with quite not enough rain. Almost had to go buy jelly beans, unshelled peanuts and a spray bottle for water and go outside and yell, "Rain, willya?" at the sky gods, but then that derecho went through here and did so much damage. 15 tornadoes - almost a swarm occurred.
National Weather Service is predicting cooler weather and some rain in a couple of days, right in keeping with your September forecast.
Note: last year, the first snow was on Hallowe'en and no one in my neighborhood went trick-or-treating. I have photos, measured 4 inches on my front steps, where I feed the birds. The last snow of winter was April 30, same as 2018. I don't know if it's significant, but the cold weather did not really turn summery until after July 25. Butterfly and dragonfly count seems to be down in some areas, if that's significant.
