The Farmers Almanac prognosticating on nothing. Have they ever given a spread sheet on the veracity of their predictions? No. Until then, it is nothing more than wanting you to buy the hard copy. No thank you, but keep going guys, it’s fun to laugh.

I've been getting the Farmer's Almanac for decades because I like the calendar and astronomy charts, their brain teasers, their cornpone articles and their arcane but mostly useful factoids.

But they SUCK at predicting weather! Here is an example of their predicting for month of November:

1-9 Rainy periods, cool, 10-18 Sunny, cool, 19-21 Rainy, mild, 22-28 Flurries north, sunny south, cold, 29-30 Rainy, mild.

It's so general and non-specific that they are going to be "right" much of the time. So if there are snow flurries the week of the 22-28, then they look like geniuses.

The Farmer's Almanac also has a hole-punch in the upper left-hand corner. The original purpose of this was to put string through it and hang it from a hook on the outhouse door so that people could read it while defecating.
