According to the winter forecasts recently released by the old farmer’s almanac, Michigan could see a lighter winter than usual.
Among the 18 weather regions for which the old farmer’s almanac offers forecasts, this winter is expected to be normal and mild temperature-toes Appalachus, Southeast, Florida and Ohio Valley, which predicts below normal temperature.
“This is a big picture: most of the US can expect a typical or slightly milder winter – but some regions should get confused with a sharper cool,” the old farmer’s almanac said.
In the Upper West and Lower Lakes, the Almanac said he expected easy and dry conditions this winter.
The prediction of the majority of the nation is projected to be normal to normal precipitation, but in Florida, the Intermuntoun region and the desert southwest may be more than usual.
“Remember:” gentle “relative. It’s still winter – so, so plan (and dress!), Respectively,” said the old farmer’s almanac. “And if you are in the snow, do not remove that shovel yet.”
The old farmer’s almanac is different from the farmers’ almanac, who said Michigan could see cooler and snowy conditions this year.
Here’s how the forecasters see the upcoming season.

Are the accurate almanacs?
Almanacs provides long -distance forecast for farmers to plan in advance and optimize their yield.
The article at Climavision.com states that almanac ultimateness must be taken into account and should not be based on detailed forecasts.
“Although (old farmer) almanac says the speed of 80% accuracy and has made noticeable forecasts, research shows that he is only 52% accurate, making it unreliable for accurate, long-term forecasts compared to modern meteorology,” says climavision.com.
Popularmechanics.com also doubts the accuracy of such almanacs.
“Almanacs say they can provide air with about 80% of the accuracy, but the disagreement between the University of Illinois, saying that the almanac was only about 52% of the goals – this is basically a random opportunity,” said Fopermechanics.com.
