PRINTWedding In Buffalo – The Weather

Wedding Weather, Buffalo, NY, Accuracy in Weather
Frequently, I am asked what the weather will be on a certain date for a wedding. I try to “do my best” utilizing our long range weather predictions. Paul Leone is a producer for FATV. His friends were to be married in Buffalo, NY, today. So months ago he asked and I cheerfully reported that on August 8th it would be ”partly sunny” weather – a perfect day. This morning, Paul called because the local weather folks called for rain all day. He was getting ribbed about our “accurate prediction”. So, I put on my defensive face by saying did “you know that rain on a wedding is good for a bride. Rain equates to blessing and children.” So, I attempted to put a sunny spin on a rather dull day.
Fast forward a few hours and I get an e-mail from Paul saying that miracle of miracles, it was clearing and going to be just wonderful for the event. As I write this blog, the ceremony is taking place and guess what…. the Farmers’ Almanac is right again. The current temperature is 78 degrees with 9 miles visibility, humidity is 43% and the sun is shining. Perfect day for a wedding!! Chalk one up for the good guys!
If you are planning a wedding or another event in 2009, the new edition will be in stores soon. Plan accordingly.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
