farmer's almanac

It's almost like a game show in Missouri. It's the guessing game where everybody makes a prediction about when the state will get its first real snowfall. Farmer's Almanac thinks it knows the answer about whether or not Missouri will get that snow on or before Thanksgiving in their brand new outlook.

Something has changed over the span of a couple weeks. Unless my memory has failed me, Illinois was included in an area Farmer's Almanac said that along with Missouri was in for a more or less ordinary winter. Now, the Land of Lincoln has a forecast described as a 'wet winter whirlwind'.

What else would you expect really? It's not like Illinois isn't accustomed to winters with a lot of snow and cold conditions, but the new Farmer's Almanac prediction says the upcoming winter will be brutal for Illinois in particular.

I am not a fan of winter and find it hard to even look at my snow shovel. I might need to change my attitude if Farmer's Almanac is right about Missouri's upcoming winter season. They say there are red flags of trouble everywhere.

I will warn you now that you're likely to be in a state of disbelief about what has just been predicted for Wisconsin especially considering it's still August as of now. Farmer's Almanac has just predicted snow for the state and not a tiny amount either.

Hold on a second. I need to catch my breath from laughing (or was that crying?) after I just saw that Farmer's Almanac is predicting snow for Illinois. Yes, I checked. It's still August. What the?

I normally accept whatever the weather is without complaining too much, but in this case I really hope Farmer's Almanac prediction for what Fall will be like in Missouri is wrong. Otherwise, we'll all need to stock up on water for multiple reasons.

Having grown up in a Missouri family that farms, I can tell you that farmers know things that others don't and that's especially true about the weather. They have almost a sixth sense to understand seasons. That's why I took notice when Farmer's Almanac says it knows what day will be the first Fall frost in Missouri.

Do you believe that Farmer's Almanac is an accurate way to predict weather still in 2024? If you do, you might want to tie down all loose objects as they're warning that in 9 days big tornadoes will hit Missouri.

I can already hear the naysayers laughing at the news that Missouri's summer will be hot. Of course it will be hot they'll say and they're not wrong. However, there's a difference between Missouri's normally hot summers and record heat and Farmer's Almanac says records may be broken.
