farmers almanac prediction

[woodzilla]

Anyone else that has more than one seasons wood should take heart that all that hard work may come in handy. F.a. Is calling for extremely cold winter. I say bring it on.

What does the farmers almanac predict for winter in my area in NE Oklahoma?

 

[Adios Pantalones]

I know a couple of people that will have a hard time paying for heating this winter and do not have the health to manage wood heat. I'm hoping for a mild winter for their sake.

Given The Almanac's track record, I am now going to be buying up close-out suntan lotion for use on Christmas Day.

Although I don't anticipate it happening, it wouldn't bother me a bit to just let all my wood sit out there seasoning right on through a nice mild winter. Rick

 

[Henz]

Me too rick. Wouldnt the ol oil boys be upset if we had a nice warm/mild winter! They say that even though gas is going down slightly, fuel oil is gonna be higher than last year

 

[Metal]

My Magic 8 Ball said "ask again later" when I asked if it would be cold this Winter, then when I asked again it said "seems likely," so I guess that verifies that the almanac is spot on.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

My prediction agrees with the OFA. I've been telling folks (those that ask) to expect very cold this winter but very little snow in our area. We'll see.

 

[burntime]

I will take 1 freeze to kill off the skeeters and then 40s all winter, that would be fine with me

If our current weather pattern keeps up- it will be a cold, snowy winter (of course- we finally have a break from the rain).

Last wintah was pretty hard, and spring was really late. Just been a cold pattern in general since last fall. Maybe Ragnarok is coming.

It seems every other time I read one of your comments, I gotta look something up.
you sir, are an interesting man.
Ragnarok........marvelous.... so its Fimbulvetr this winter??.... i gotta go cut the neighbors trees down.

 

[burntime]

Ah yes, hearth.com is a plethora of information!

 

[Jay777]

But man, how big a splitter would you need for Ygdrassil? Gotta be a few thousand cords there.

 

[burntime]

It would not matter because everything would come appart and there would be no need to heat with wood! You are refering to the great ash tree right?

I know a couple of people that will have a hard time paying for heating this winter and do not have the health to manage wood heat. I'm hoping for a mild winter for their sake.

Some people are literally going to freeze to death in their homes this winter, particularly elderly folks on SS trying to stay in big old family homes. Lots more are going to be eating cheap cat food and/or not buying their prescriptions. There's also going to be a big upsurge in fires from space heaters tipping over or frayed cords, etc. It's going to be a very ugly winter for a huge number of people even if it doesn't get too cold.

The worst part is that nothing gets cheaper and next winter will get worse.

Supposed to be 3 early cold winters before Fimbulvetr (3 winters without summer). I figure I got a little time- so maybe I'll go on a 3year bendah starting now.

[Henz]

for those who have family in the area, I hope they understand that I assist them!

I think Accuweather was saying the same thing. And then there is this scientist from Mexico saying we are starting a mini ice age........ :bug: I dunno....they seem to have a hard time with 48 hour forecasts

Oldtimers have told me:

- A hot summer means a really cold winter.

- A cool summer means a really cold winter.

- A wet summer means a lot of snow in winter.

- A dry summers means a lot of snow in winter.

- All manner of worms, bugs etc. indicate what kind of winter is coming.

Now that I am an oldtimer I realize that oldtimers don't know what the hell they are talking about. :red: And that the guy on Channel 7 in D.C. is more accurate than anybody I have ever seen in my life.

When I first came to this country I realized how lucky I was. Now that I have a wood burning stove I realize even more how lucky I am.

My Gosh, What a Great Country!

You may not have mead much longer. Some kind of disease or something else is killing bee hives all over North America and Europe.
