Clairvoyance & Almanacs

Back in August of 2013, the 'esteemed' Farmers’ Almanac predicted the winter we’re currently enduring – along with its affects on the Super Bowl. According to the author (pseudonym: Caleb Weatherbee), New England, New York and most of Pennsylvania will experience a bitterly cold and snow-filled season. The mid-Atlantic states will be cold, wet and blanketed in white. The Southeast will be chilly and wet all winter. Texas and other Southern states will experience frost and above-average dampness. Illinois and the surrounding states will have "biting cold" and snow. The Midwest will see "piercing cold" with normal snowfall. The Pacific Northwest will see a dry and chilly year. The one good region in the predictions is California, Nevada and Arizona, which will see a season of cool with near-normal precipitation. Credibility for the Farmers’ Almanac vacillates as often as the moon phases, but it seems to be dead on for this year.
