Leaf Peeping, Winter Weather and more in Farmers’ Almanac 2009 Issue
Interest from various news sources has arisen from Farmers’ Almanac’s 2009 publication since it hit the bookstores, especially on the topics of peak days for leaf peeping and winter weather predictions. Though the best times for leaf peeping vary around the country, the peak time for most places in 2008 appears to be in mid October. Farmers’ Almanac says peak times come earlier in higher elevation levels.
Onto the more controversial weather predictions: Famers’ Almanac says the winter of 2008 will be numbingly cold. The far-off forecasts come under skepticism by meteorologists and national weather services, however, The Almanac, which has been predicting the weather for 192 years, claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent.
