After last winter’s bitter cold, I am hoping for a mild fall and an easy, down-on-the-farm winter. According to the hot off the press <a href=”http://www.farmersalmanac.com/” target=”_blank”>
<font face=”Times New Roman”>2011 Farmers’ Almanac,</font>
</a> this upcoming winter season will display a split personality nationwide. The eastern third of the country will experience colder-than-normal winter temperatures, while the western states will see milder temperatures. The snowiest area will be across parts of the Northern and Central Plains, to the Ohio River and Great Lakes region. Despite that, the 194-year-old Farmers’ Almanac says that the coming winter season should be a “kinder, gentler” one, on the whole. I scrutinized the 2011 Farmers’ Almanac’s weather maps and noticed that my farm is located right where the “cold and very snowy” region meets the “Mild with average precipitation” region. I sure hope that the 2011 Farmers’ Almanac’s winter weather prediction doesn’t indicate that I should expect ice storms and untimely tornados.</p>
