Farmers Almanac coming out soon.....who do you believe? POLL

wonder if the pacific northwest is still having a low rain time like it was when it was non stop rain here. Based on the beaver lodge at my parents house it is gonna be a bad winter, they really pile the wood on for what they think is gonna be a bad one. they even came up and cut some trees right next to my parents house in the back yard 50 yards from water and up a good hill, cut them in sections and dragged them back to the pond. They lived there since '85 and haven't seen that yet. considering that it is one of the coldest years on record for NE anyway, I'm going with cold and (I hope) lots of snow.

Well, I seen my first wooly this year and I don't think it looks to good. We were blowing leaves around and I dam near smushed him.

What do ya all think?

Not to worry. Once he sees how much fuel it burns while plowing he will be praying for spring.

I saw a couple several weeks ago and they had their airline tickets to Florida in hand and were headed to the airport. That give anyone a clue.

Gotta consider being a weatherman because where else can you use a 5 million dollar computer, make 80 or 90 grand a year and be wrong 90 per cent of the time and still have a job? No difference between a weatherman or a shrink, neither one is an exacting science........................................

as airplane mechanics we always laugh at work at the weathermen and how much they can be wrong, if we're wrong 1% of the time and someone else doesn't catch us the least of our worries is needing a new job.
(manslaughter in some states now)

Now hold on a minute. My son is a weatherman in Springfield, MA and he is not wrong 90% of the time. I know they are wrong a lot, but consider the Major League ballplayer hitting 300 and he blows it 7 out of 10X, but make a whole lot more than a weatherman.

Just to let you know, most weathermen don't make as much as you think. Unless you're in a big market, i.e NYC, Boston, LA or Chicago, chances are you are not making more than at best 50 - 60K. My son's first weather job was in West Virginia and when he left three years ago he was making a whopping 28K.
