The bitterly cold winter the country is experiencing now took government climatologists completely by surprise, but was predicted with dead-center accuracy by the Old Farmer’s Almanac, a 200 year-plus publication.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center worked feverishly, plugging all available data into supercomputers to predict temperatures would be “above normal from November through January across much of the lower 48 states,” according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

It made its November through January prediction in October.

Instead of the mild winter the scientists predicted, we got hit with the polar vortex, plunging temperatures in in all 50 states to below-freezing temperatures and covering the Midwest and Northeast under more than a foot of snow.

And just to make sure we know it wasn’t an anomaly, Mother Nature said she’s sending another dose of polar vortex our way next week.

“Not one of our better forecasts,” acknowledged the Climate Prediction Center’s acting director Mike Halpert to Bloomberg.

But not everyone got it wrong.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which made its winter predictions way back during the summer, used terms like “bitter,” “biting” and piercing” to describe how cold it was going to be, according to CBS News — and it was spot on.

Shortly after making its prediction, Farmer’s Almanac editor Tim Clark explained on Washington, D.C. TV station WUSA9 that although the publication employs many of the same predictors used by the government, it throws the solar cycle into the mix. “And have [used it], for 220 years,” he added.

Two out of three ain't bad. Only January was cold, November and December were quite mild. Does being right two out of three count as being 'WAY' off?

MEANWHILE - NOAA: January 2014 Was 4th Warmest on Record.

RIF , 1kiki. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

I don't get it.
FA is ignoring the realities of Global Warming?
How can this beeeeee?
Global Warming is really really really real, notwithstanding the intentional falsification of data recording and collection. Algore sez so. And I read it on the interweb and heard it on CNN - it must be truuuuue.
Global Warming is caused by cows passing wind and volcanoes releasing certain greenhouse gasses specified in Federal Legislation written to support ethanol producer profits. Apparently cows passing wind in more sensible countries do not contribute.
Global Warming is such a horrificly disasterous epidemic that the extra heat from the Earth's flatulent cows is also heating up every planet in the Milky Way (aka our solar system, for those of you believers). Every Milky Way body is experiencing Global Warming (even those without atmo) resulting from Earth, not only those out past Uranus but also those orbiting on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. Yes it's truuuue. Even the Sun is experiencing Global Warming as a result of American cows passing wind.

hmmm. where is the sarcasm off button....

So I'm still unclear from our resident denialists, whether they believe climate change is happening but not man made, or it's not happening at all. They seem to find posts that say both from time to time.

This one is 'there is no climate change'. That is the climate of the earth is entirely static. Which is amusing, because even the majority of the scientific denials (3%) say that it IS changing, just not because of human activity.

Meh, stuff science. It's just another religion, right? So let me open my front door and float away, seeing as the theory of gravity is likely to just be more ALARMIST bullshit from these trouble makers.

No, AGW isn't happening. At least not to any significant level, and all agree, there's not much we CAN do about it, even if there is.

Climate ? It's always changing. That's not the issue though.

Often the discussion gets abbreviated, on the matter of human caused climate change to just 'climate change'. I think the AGW folks intentionally keep changing their vernacular to keep the issue confusing, so folks will not try to speak up.

Theory of gravity ?

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Actually, not correct. FA simply predicted there'd be a colder winter. And there was . The methodology differs from other ways, because it takes into account the single biggest driver of this planet's weather, the Sun.

Seems pretty sensible, if you think about it.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Hmmm. WHAT did the FA predict? I know I saw it somewhere ...

Another FA winter prediction:

"The good news is that the extra precipitation—which will fall as rain or snow depending where you are—will help with any drought issues left over from the summer.”

Correct. You don't get it. AGW doesn't make specific predictions about the weather on particular days, weeks, months or even seasons.

It's not personal. It's just war.



Actually, not correct. FA simply predicted there'd be a colder winter. And there was . The methodology differs from other ways, because it takes into account the single biggest driver of this planet's weather, the Sun.

Seems pretty sensible, if you think about it.


Completely ignored what I said, and pivoted onto what you wanted to say, as you so often do.

And the fact that you lecture anyone on the scientific method and then laud the scientific methodology of the 'Farmers Almanac' is laughable.

It's not personal. It's just war.

KPO - You agreed that FA is ignoring the "realities " of AGW. In fact, it DOES go on to make predictions on the weather.

WEATHER.


It doesn't bother w/ 'climate' change.

Good grief.

So your point is, the FA got it right?

It didn't. It predicted extreme cold - which didn't happen. Two months were mild. One was barely below average. It predicted lots of precipitation, ending drought problems. That was wrong as well.

What part did it get right?

Niagara Falls froze solid.

Twice.



The Great Lakes froze so thoroughly, ( 93% of Lake Superior's surface ) that walking tours of shoreline caves were available for the first time in a generation.

And you said there wasn't extreme cold ?

Seriously, the delusion you live in must be spectacular.

Sigh, I agreed with JSF that he doesn't 'get it', and I stated that *AGW* doesn't make weather predictions.

It's not personal. It's just war.

This was my record-breaking winter:

Some areas, like your backyard, got cold. Others, unlike your backyard, were quite warm. It's that whole problem you have of mistaking limited examples for the whole picture. And to repeat, this is what they predicted, not for a few limited places, for a month, but for the country, for the winter.
Quote:

The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which made its winter predictions way back during the summer, used terms like “bitter,” “biting” and piercing” to describe how cold it was going to be, according to CBS News — and it was spot on.


And this is what happened - the entire country was quite warm for two months. During February, it was only a little cooler than usual for the month.

Quote:

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/2014/2

The contiguous U.S. February temperature was 32.2°F, 1.6°F below the 20th century average, and the 37th coldest February on record.



So, the country as a whole, the winter as a whole? Pretty warm, pretty warm, and a little cooler than normal. FA got it wrong. Also, we were all supposed to have our drought worries fixed. FA got that wrong too.

It predicted extreme cold, and we got extreme cold. Only a frelling moron could deny it.

Also, it said the drought would get some relief, though never claimed the problem would be 'fixed'.

I swear, no one cherry picks what they want to see more than you.

NO ONE.

"It predicted extreme cold, and we got extreme cold." We also had extreme warm. And extreme average. I think it missed that part.

"The good news is that the extra precipitation—which will fall as rain or snow depending where you are—will help with any drought issues left over from the summer.”

Extra precipitation? It kinda missed half the country on that one, too.

Nooooooooo! It cannot beeeeee! The Sun? No way. Next you'll be claiming that Sun does not actually revolve around Earth, and throw all these wacky junk science followers in a tizzy.
