The Farmer’s Almanac based in Lewiston, Maine, is ending publication after over 200 years, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which is often confused with it, will continue to publish its annual edition and online content.
The Farmer’s Almanac and the National Weather Service are predicting below-average temperatures for Alabama from mid-February through the end of the month, with hints of bitter cold and unseasonably cold weather. The possibility of snow remains uncertain, but the Climate Prediction Center suggests a higher probability of below-average temperatures and drier-than-average weather for most of the state during this period. However, spring is on the horizon, with meteorological spring beginning on March 1 and astronomical spring arriving on March 19.
Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring, with the Old Farmer's Almanac also forecasting a warmer-than-average spring on the East Coast but a chillier one in some regions. In contrast, the Farmers' Almanac anticipates a "Polar Coaster Spring" with cold temperatures and possible late snow. Both almanacs claim high accuracy rates, but a 2010 study found the Old Farmer's Almanac to be correct only about 50% of the time.
