NOAA, the experts who completely botched the 2022 hurricane forecast, have consulted the goat entrails and announced their winter predictions for the United States. If you live in the Northeast, they say it will be a warmer, dryer winter. Can we believe them?
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center has released its prediction for the 2022-23 winter season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says another “warmer-than-average” winter is predicted for parts of Maine, and New England. Differing from their prediction last winter, northern and western areas of the state have an equal chance of warmer or below normal temps this season.
Just for fun, I looked up the Farmer’s Almanac predictions. They’re about as right as NOAA most of the time, so it seemed like a fair comparison. They are predicting a colder, more wintery winter.
In contrast, I looked up the Farmer’s Almanac 2022 hurricane season predictions. They didn’t have their own (that I could find) and instead referenced the experts who got it wrong. So what now?
Most years we have about a billion acorns, and that’s supposed to mean a colder winter (I think). We only have about a million this year, so maybe NOAA guessed it right. Of course, we’ve had more than a few years when the Oak Trees got it as wrong as NOAA, so that leaves us where we started.
Winter is coming, and the only thing we know for certain is that Democrats f**ked it up no matter what kind of weather we get. Electricity prices have doubled. Fuel and heating oil costs are through the roof. And the political Left’s solution to that is more taxes on fossil fuels to pay for more of that not-at-all green energy that can’t meet demand.
So it’ll be cold, one way or the other.
