Looooooooong Range Forecast

Wow! It's Friday already! I don't know what's better...heading into a long weekend or the short week that follows. In this case, with last weekend's crummy weather, the short work week definitely wins. Today is not just any Friday, today is special. Very special! Today is the day that my job security is put into question. The Famer's Almanac releases there annual forecast today. Annual? How can I compete with that? I only look ahead 7 days and these folks forecast a year in advance. Let's take a look at their winter forecast...The Farmer's Almanac is calling for "mild and wet" weather for the Yukon, BC and western alberta. They expect "average temperatures and snowfall" for the prairies and north into the territories. Ontario will be "cold and snowy" with "bitterly cold" temperatures heading east through Quebec into New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Good news for folks living in Labrador...you'll only be dealing with "very cold" as opposed to the "bitterly cold" temps for the rest of Atlantic Canada. Snowfall will also be "average" for most of eastern Canada. Whether you believe in the Farmer's Almanac or not...you have to give them credit for trying. Forecasting a year in advance can't be easy, just look at how often my 7 day forecast is...um...less than 100% accurate. Happy Friday!
