For years, people have checked the Farmers' Almanac for long-range weather predictions.
You may think the almanac is useful if you're a farmer looking to get a feel for how your crops might do for the season, a newly-engaged couple trying to plan your wedding day around the weather or you may be thinking you can be one step, or several months, ahead of the hundreds of meteorologists across the country. Let me remind you that those hundreds of meteorologists only work on predicting the next seven days accurately. So, why not pick up this year's Farmers' Almanac? After all, it does predict the weather for the next several months!
Not so fast.
