^Copy and paste into browser, or just search Farmers Almanac for Winter 2006-2007 on google and its first link.

The Good: Winter may come as early as November in the East and will be cold for a while!

The Bad: Winter may end as early as Late February/Early, Early March

Winter 2007 will arrive earlier than normal
in most parts of the country, including New
England, the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Upper
Midwest, and Pacific Northwest ~
all having stormy winter conditions, and
below average cold temperatures, gusting
winds, stormier precipiations of cold
rains, snow, and ice ~ earlier than usual.

Winter arives by November 2006, and is at
an end by late February/early March 2007.

^i dont know if thats good or not

Fuck that dude. For the past two years it predicted higher than normal snowfall and you know what? We got the worst winters in years. That's just a bunch of bullshit to shatter the hopes of snow lovers everywhere.

ill believe it when i see it, and i rather have winter not start until later and later because then it is better conditions for alot of the comps including VTO and more spring skiing.

OK OK OK. I JUST WANT TO LET EVERYONE WHO IS GETTING ALL WORKED UP KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT THE LAST 2 YEARS THE FARMERS ALMANAC PREDICTED DRYER THEN NORMAL WINTERS FOR THE WEST COAST AND AS WE ALL KNOW TAHOE HAD THE MOST SNOW EVER THE LAST TO YEARS. SO YA I REALLY REALLY QUESTIONS ITS ACCURACY. k?

wrong... the last two years the farmers almanac has predicted wetter than average as well as warmer than average for the west coast... they were on the mark, The sierras have seen above average snowfall and rainfal the last two years
High elevation resorts like mammoth, Kirkwood, and Mount Rose have had exceptional snowfalls

Yea and they predicted a very heavy snowfall year for the NE and we had one of the worst winters ever. I can already feel the change and it has been getting gradually colder. Its cold enough to close our windows during the day which we havn't done since May.

Yeah that's true, but the thing is that all the farmer's almanac has been able to predict right was that winter comes.

Snow, and lots of it, is also forecast for the nation’s midsection, parts of New England, and the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. “The Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley may be the only area spared the extreme cold,” reveals Sandi Duncan, Philom., Managing Editor, “but this is not to say this area won’t be without its cold spells and significant snowfalls.”
