And I love over at Supertalk.fm, our news director, JT, did a great little story about the old Almers farm.

Old Farmer's Almanac predicts Thanksgiving weather in Mississippi.

And I just think this stuff's so cool because you wonder, like, it was founded in 1792.

The Old Farmer's Almanac is North America's oldest continuously published periodical.

And it features these long-range sort of weather forecasts.

And so you can go and kind of check it out.

Oh, wow, that's crazy.

So back to this article from the Old Farmer's Almanac.

Will we ever stop changing the clocks? The fight over DST.

Every fall and spring, Americans grumble about changing the clocks.

Her column, Where the Waters Mingle, was where she talked about happenings in town, local gossip, and community events.

Her weekly column on November 6, 1966, discussed weather predictions in the Old Farmer's Almanac for the coming year.

But then came the sighting.

November 16th, 1966.

He is Bob Berman, author of 12 popular science books published by Harper, Little, Brown and Morrow and numerous foreign editions.

He is also, since 1988, the astronomy editor of the Old Farmer's Almanac.

He's also a contributing editor and monthly columnist for Astronomy Magazine.

For 17 years, from 1989 to 2006, he was Discover Magazine's monthly night watchman columnist.

Music is pure color and lives and dies and lingers with us as surely as dawn and sunset.

Southern Ontario is heading into November with above-average temperatures and a stronger-than-normal El Nino pattern, but that won't stop snow for long.

The Old Farmers Almanac large-range forecast calls for flurries mid-month and again as November closes, while the snow belt braces for a season of extremes.

Southern Ontario is expected to sit near one of winter's most active battlegrounds in Canada.

So areas, particularly in the snow belt, could get buried in snow again this winter, according to the Farmer's Almanac.

Every year when they slaughtered hogs in the fall, my grandmother would pick out one that was her hog, she called it, and when that one was slaughtered, she would poke around in the entrails with a stick, and she would foretell what type of growing season they would have in the next year, whether the corn would be good, the tobacco would be high, the tomatoes would be full.

And according to my uncles, she was every bit as accurate as the Old Farmer's Almanac.

Now, these were country folk.

The Old Farmer's Almanac was something that they lived and died by.

It hung on a nail in the kitchen and was often consulted around the supper table.

Again, no explanation.

She could tell what was gonna grow well in the next growing season.

And according to my uncles, there were n- nine of them, she had 10 kids, my mom and nine boys.

Is the weath- is the El Niño affecting, uh-

The Farmer's Almanac said there'll be no snow.

Yeah.

All right.
