The Old Farmer's Almanac

The Old Farmer's Almanac is the familiar, 223-year-old chronicler of climate, folksy advice and fun facts,

The almanac, which has about an 80 percent success rate in its forecasts, employs modern technology but still uses the "secret formula" that founder Robert Thomas devised in 1792.

By combining the study of sunspots, prevailing weather patterns and basic meteorology, the almanac's weather staff comes up with a long-range forecast.

The temperature deviations are based on 30-year averages compiled by government forecasters.
