The Big Myth Is Coming?

I am beginning to see an interesting trend resulting from rough winters. Here is a great question form Montreal, Canada:

Rumors on the streets say that Montreal is expecting another 90 centimeters of snow in the coming weeks…this is, what I am told, the Farmers’ Almanac is reporting… Can you confirm any of these myths?

My response…. if you are going to receive another 90 centimeters, it is not because the Farmers’ Almanac says so. Feel free to go to my website and click on weather and Canada. Then see what we are predicting for the next two months. Last year Denver (Colorado) had major storms all winter and as we got to the end of the season rumors were heard on the streets indicating the Farmers’ Almanac was calling for a storm with 30 inches (76 cm) of snow, then 40 inches (101 cm) and finally a storm with 55 inches (140 cm) of snow. The snowball (storm) got bigger with time. I finally got on Denver media to dispel the rumor.

This has been a rough winter to say the least in many northern US and Canadian regions and we do call for rain/ snow all for the balance of March. But, check out our web and follow what the publication calls for. Of course I don’t make the snow and anything is possible. But, let’s hope the worst is behind us!! At least that is what we believe.

The trend – if there is a tough winter with incredible amounts of snow, a rumor gets started that according to the Farmers’ Almanac, the “big one” will hit at the end. In the case of Denver, it didn’t and I don’t think my Canadian friend are going to get 90 cm. When in doubt, check out our two months of predictions for regions of the US and Canada.
