Caleb Weatherbee is the official forecaster for the Farmers' Almanac. His name is actually a pseudonym that has been passed down through generations of Almanac prognosticators and has been used to conceal the true identity of the men and women behind our predictions.
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.

Folk lore in Texas says that if it rains on Easter Sunday, it will rain for the next 7 Sundays. We are all praying for that one to prove true this year!
We need the rain to break out of this drought.
Would this cold snap count as a “dogwood winter” this year? Or do our dogwoods need to be in full bloom while we have snow covered on them for it to count? They are calling for 2-4 inches of snow here in Richmond, Va… so our dogwood trees will be covered in snow but nothing is blooming yet. It looks like its the heart of winter rather than late March. No easter lillies for us
I’ve been waiting for a snow pack to protect against another hot dry summer growing season, so as inconvenient as it may seem, snow is just what we need
We are praying for moisture over the Easter weekend or any weekend for that, we are 3+ inches below 2012 and that was one of the worst drought years in 10 years, we hope to break that or we will be headed for the worst drought in 50+ years.
I’m hoping the same thing. It is -15 windchill today in MN.
Enough already! My only hope is that this long winter creates a fruitful growing season.
