Almanac predicts another cold winter with sunspot hints
UPI reports Abe Weatherwise foresees a harsh winter for the Northeast with heavy snow and deep freezes, while the West sees warmth. The Old Farmer’s Almanac relies on a sunspot formula dating to 1792, computer-fed by Richard Head at Dartmouth, and editor Judson Hale cautions forecasts are seasonal, not daily. The 1978 edition raises price to $1, maintaining its aged, drilled-hole charm.
