Has anyone noticed that the latest Farmers’ Almanac predictions for this winter have been right on the money? Intense cold followed by snow followed by intense cold again and then some more snow. I’ve begun to think that the mysterious people of the almanac weren’t just forecasting the weather, they were controlling it. By that logic, now that the almanac has called it quits after 200-plus years, it should just stay summer year-round. Of course, I suppose it could also mean never-ending winter, but I don’t like to let my mind go there. ~ Mark LaFlamme
