"The coldest periods will be in early and mid-January, from late January into early February, in late February, and in early and mid- to late March." That pretty much encompasses the entire time from Jan thru March just missing out mid Feb. so why not just say the whole winter will be cold. And by the way; I don't know how somebody got on this track in the comments but God does control the weather because unlike man the weather doesn't have free will.

Let the weather run its natural course and be glad God gave you one more day in this world to enjoy it. God bless!
Ugh!
It's been a long, gloomy, cold, snowy winter already. Just my opinion.
Part of my whole life
I’ll be seventy my next birthday. Since I was little more than a toddler I remember my father reading the OFA and discussing how often the predictions were spot on. He continued to read and base his activities on it until extreme age robbed him of the ability to reason. I’ve been continuing the tradition and I’m just as impressed as Dad was. I may not be a farmer or a gardener like Dad was, but I know when to plant my flowers and when to take up the bulbs or cover my plants to protect from frost. Sure, OAF isn’t ALWAYS right, but the accuracy is really amazing!

Their predictions are not based off of absolute zero point accuracy via day, hour, minute like a local news network. Their predictions are guesstimates based on past weather patterns. One prediction could be found by past weather seasons shows X for temperatures and Y for precipitation and they notice that, that specific trend happens every 6 years. That goes for each year, each year has a corresponding past weather trend or pattern. They're never 100% accurate, it's all just a guessing game. Also you bring up God in your comment, one thing you fail to realize is much like why bad things happen in the world, God doesn't control the weather, that goes against free will. So when there's a tornado, God actually did let that happen because of free will.

Hi, Do you think this weekend will be as bad as the forecast says for Minneota, Minnesota
Unreal weather
how do you figure you can predict the weather. You have no idea what the future holds for the weather nice try though but I don't believe a word that is said and I don't think many other people to leave there because you're not God
Don't believe
OK maybe you don't believe of the work the OFA has done, but every time we have planned for a trip we have consulted the predictions and it's been very beneficial for us. Even family get togethers.

occasions ole farm boy of 77 years and the Farmer's Almanac has been my weather- bible.
