"The 208-year-old publication has maintained an 80-85% accuracy rate for its weather predictions, using a formula that's been locked in a black tin box at their New Hampshire headquarters since 1792. And while meteorologists with all their satellites and supercomputers scramble to predict next week's weather, this little yellow book has already mapped out what's coming for the rest of winter."
"After nearly shutting down last year due to financial challenges, the Farmers' Almanac found new life when Tim Konrad, founder of Unofficial Networks, stepped in. "I saw the announcement that one of America's most enduring publications was set to close," Konrad said, "and it felt wrong to stand by while an irreplaceable piece of our national heritage disappeared." The rescue came just in time."
"Last November, editors Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger had written what they thought would be their farewell: "After more than 200 years of sharing a unique blend of weather, wit and wisdom, we've made the very difficult decision to write the final chapter of this historical publication." But here's the thing: they nailed this winter's predictions again. And what they're forecasting for February and March might have you rethinking those spring vacation plans."
The Farmers' Almanac is a 208-year-old publication that has maintained an estimated 80–85% accuracy in weather predictions. The almanac uses a longstanding formula safeguarded in a black tin box at its New Hampshire headquarters since 1792. Financial troubles nearly ended the publication, but Tim Konrad of Unofficial Networks rescued it. Editors had prepared a final farewell, yet the almanac accurately predicted recent winter events. The latest forecast calls February "winter's last stand," with at least two significant snow events for the Northeast and Midwest and large temperature swings through February and March.
