COULD AL GORE PLEASE REPOND?

Just a quick cursory look at the weather headlines to the left of the FWSAAB blog - I found some interesting information:

From the Associated Press on the Farmers Almanac -

"Numb's the word," says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.

The almanac's 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder-than-average temperatures this winter, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.

"This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people," said almanac editor Peter Geiger.

From the Wisconsin Capital Times -

Weather: Be glad you're not in Superior
... possibility of patches of frost over the weekend in northwest Wisconsin near Superior and northeast Minnesota, reported the National Weather Service.

About the Mississippi Eye of Fay -

"Where the hell is the rain?" said one despondent weather watcher who told millions of blog viewers that "The biggest rick [sic] is going to be biblical inland flooding. When the rains start in MS (Sunday?) They may not be over until the NEXT Sunday, the way the official forecast looks. The rain generated flooding could be some of the worst that the region has seen in many, many generations. I don't intend this as hyperbole, but this storm if it stalls could be a major, major, disaster in MS/AL/LA, espeically [sic] this quick-to-rise rivers like the Tchtickkabuufooo [sic], and the Tchoctafalll [sic], etc.
