It's in the 231st edition of the Old Farmer's Almanac, which says it has an 80-percent accuracy rate with its weather forecasts. “Depending on where you live, this will be the best of winters or memorable for all the wrong reasons,” said Janice Stillman, editor of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. “One half of the country will deal with bone-chilling cold and loads of snow, while the other half may feel like winter never really arrives.” Most of the Northeast will see a “cold, snowy” winter, according to the almana…

The Farmers' Almanac has just released its predictions for the Northeast's winter weather and put short: get your shovels ready. Expect the cold to start earlier than usual.

Will You Be Able To See It? Mile-Wide Asteroid With Its Own Moon Set To Do A Flyby This Weekend
Prepare yourselves, astronomy fans: a mile-wide “double asteroid” is approaching Earth and may be visible on Saturday night, May 25, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. The asteroid is categorized as 1999 KW4 and consists of a primary space rock just under a mile wide.

National Weather Service's Winter Outlook Cites El Niño Factor: Here's What It Means For Us
We've heard from two farmers almanacs and AccuWeather. When it comes to predictions for the upcoming winter, the National Weather Service is now batting cleanup. The weather service is in agreement with projections by AccuWeather and the Old Farmer's Almanac that the Northeast is likely to see a mild winter with the now likely emergence of El Niño. El Niño is a large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate interaction linked to a periodic warming in sea surface temperatures across the central and east-central Equatorial Pacific. What does that mean for us? “We expect El Nino to be in place in lat…
