The Old Farmer's Almanac just released its prediction for the Winter of 2020-2021, and I hope they are correct....Historically, they are about 80% accurate. I haven't had to plow my driveway, to clear a path from the garage to the roadway, in almost a decade....I hope that trend continues.

I moved from the high Sierras in CA 2 years ago, after 35 years of every other winter having to deal with massive amounts of snow. It's beautiful but gets overwhelming for a senior like me. Who knows what this winter will bring. It's been a crazy, unpredictable year. And Mother Nature obviously has the final word!
 
They were sure wrong last winter, at least for my area. 100% wrong.

I don't know what methods this almanac uses to make their predictions, but if they are 80% accurate, that is better than what our local weather reports come up with. Around here, we are lucky if they can predict the weather more than a day or two in advance.

Personally, I am just glad, anymore, to see a Winter pass with only minor snow accumulations....2 or 3 inches at most. It's been several years since we had a 12 inch snowfall, and that's fine with me.

I LOVE the farmer's Almanac! I'm so glad the WEATHER, at least will be decent this year! Yje rest of everything is CRAZY!
 
This past winter,they got our forecast wrong,our total snowfall was 70 inches,way below our usual average of 100 inch or more. No blizzards,after a snow storm,the snow would melt after a couple of days
I'd like to see another 'repeat winter' with less snowfall,am sure many feel the same way as I do
 
With two tropical storms threatening the Gulf coast I would never trade this weather for the winters up north.
