80-85% accuracy is better than the forecasts we get around here.

A relatively recent study of one decades worth of Farmers' Almanac weather predictions proved that they are nowhere near 80-85% correct and in fact were no more accurate than simply guessing.

I was a bit bummed when reading it actually since I really liked the idea that they were so accurate.

Do you remember the source. Could have been an AGW “ringer”. I say that as the 80-85% accuracy figure for the Farmer’s Almanac’s predictions has been around for as long as I can remember.

With so much disinformation ‘tacti’ being deployed across the MSM, the Internet etc. by mischievous Leftists in support of their agenda, it would be interesting to know the source that is shoveling against the tide.
