Brrr! Farmers' Almanac says cold winter ahead

Households worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.

"Numb's the word," says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.

The almanac's 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder than average temperatures, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.

Yeah all the signs point to a bad winter and my gas bill is going to be horrible. This is not a good time to have a poorly insulated house. If I tried to get LEED certification they'd give me LED certification. :-)

I'm afraid in this case, the use of the word Catastrophic - is going to be justified.

I like GMXR, ARD, and HK.

They are WAY up since then. 40% OR BETTER.

Wasn't sure if this was already posted here (I couldn't find it), but stumbled on it over at Robert Felix's website:
