You could tell me the spring and summer will be hotter than normal, and I wouldn't shudder as much as when I read a prediction of a colder and snowier winter than normal.

I'm not over last winter, and I didn't suffer nearly as much as the people who had ice-dam damage. Some of them are still waiting to find a contractor to get repairs finished.

The almanac predicts above normal snow and below normal temperatures for much of New England this coming winter.

In case you're wondering, according to the Associated Press;

The weather predictions are based on a secret formula that founder Robert B. Thomas designed using solar cycles, climatology and meteorology. Forecasts emphasize how much temperature and precipitation will deviate from 30-year averages compiled by government agencies.

So let's not complain about the heat. And remember, you don't have to shovel humidity.
