But that won’t stop the NWS to predict tons of hurricanes and tornadoes again, when the last serious hurricane year we had was 2005 and last year was a record low for tornado activity. Gotta keep their fat paychecks coming from the taxpayers, you know.

THIS is the first year the squirrels' nests and wasps' nests lied to me.

Built low .. preparing for cold .. built high preparing for mild.

I predicted relative mild by the (perceived) height of the nests ... mid to high range

Joe Bastardi of weatherbell.com nailed this winter’s forecast back in the fall.

In other words, the Farmer’s Almanac is sometimes better, and sometimes worse at predicting the weather than the expensive, “sophisticated” models now in use.

Weather forecasting is usually pretty good within a 2 day span of time. Beyond that, my knees do a better job of predicting the weather.

We always get a Farmers Almanac every year and its almost always correct.

“Surprised by how tough this winter has been?

No, the woolly worms were nearly solid black.

Now annoyed? That is another story.

I predict Dec/Jan/Feb will be much colder than Jun/Jul/Aug.

For the garden here, Halloween brings the first chill so start shutting things down over the next couple weeks. Never go by the “rule” of planting around the Ides of March because there WILL be a killing freeze on Tax Day.
