LEWISTON, Maine (Aug. 24) - People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.
Old man winter will be on a tear this coming season, if the Farmer's Almanac is to be believed. The 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent, predicts "Numb's the word" for much of the U.S.
An unusually wet or snowy February is in store for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, the almanac says
The Midwest and the Great Lakes will see above-normal snowfall, especially during January and February, the almanac predicts.
The Southeast will see above-normal precipitation in January and February, the almanac says.
The Almanac foresees a rainy December in the Southwest
February could bring drier than usual weather for the typically wet Pacific Northwest
When summer 2009 rolls around, most of the country will see near-normal temperatures, but much of the Southwest should prepare for unusually hot weather in June and July, the almanac advises. Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas will face intense July heat and humidity, it says.
