SO - WHO WAS RIGHT?

The Farmers' Almanac predicted below-average temperatures for the2009 winter for most of the United States. It predicted that at least two-thirds of the U.S. could expect colder than average temperatures and that only the Far West and Southeast should expect near-normal temperatures. The almanac predicted above-average snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest regions -- especially during the months of January and February. Above-normal precipitation for the Southwest in December and for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions should expect an unusually high amount of rain or snow during February.

Their winter forecast disagreed with a prominent national weather service group (ahem...) who predicted warmer than normal temperatures over most of the U.S., including Alaska.

By the way, Joe the Meteorologist "Joe's Weather Works" blog - is hinting at snow in northern Alabama and Mississippi.
