Polar winter coming? lol Polar Coaster ....

Polar winter coming? lol Polar Coaster .... Well according to the 203 year old ( Canadian ) Farmers Almanac this winter will be a frigid, frosty and freezing experience like it used to be 45-50 years ago...I remember when i was a growing up in rural NS the winters were filled with snow storms like you dont see now...the drifts were so high that we made tunnels throughout the land..Of course to a who isnt very tall any snowdrift above our heads was awesome... But now the Farmers Almanac is predicting a return of them days...I remember my Mom buying blankets and comforters all the time , seems when ever she went to town she always came back with a crap load of groceries and blankets ...we girls would find one large bed and all snuggle down boys doing the ..giggling and carrying on till either Dad or Mom would yell for us to get to sleep ...school tomorrow ! Then when we went to school we would be on a bus or had to walk not far , but then it was freezing cold....Then as well there was few things to stop us going to school unlike today some snowflake falls and there is panic and chaos ..nothing stopped the bus from running but then men were the only bus drivers , strong nd made of steel , one roar if we acted up made us sit down and shut up.. Ice skating through the winter we were at it constantly and clearing a spot to skate on the harbor to hockey boys were thrilled ...when we skated on the harbor we went for miles because the harbor was solid ice frozen two feet or more thick..and that was salt water ...today you are lucky to get ice time in a rink where everything is in a controlled enviroment , one mis step or skating too fast you got kicked ...at least here you did... So maybe the Almanac might be right , we can look at mounds of snow and frozen harbors and dream once again about doing the things we loved as ..after all dreaming doesnt anything but a bit of time.. ***** Added post here and this is no bull...I remember my Grandfather using his ox team to break openings on the back roads after a big snow because several women in the communities were pregnant and near to giving birth ..that way the doctor or midwife could get through or the husband could take his wife to the hospital...and i seen pictures of heavy snowfalls blocking the roads and the men and every able bodied man or boy in the community would grab a shovel and clear the roads of snow...my ex Mum in law showed me a pic of her husband and other men in the community shoveling snow off the roads....then people worked together for the good of neighbors or the community... |

Could a prediction from a 203 year old Almanac come true?

I am loving the headlines with the term "polar coaster". You would think the media outlets didn't know what winter would be normally. I admit we have had it easy for the past few winters, and I guess we have to pay for that now. Not looking forward to the shoveling, but maybe looking forward to post shoveling activities. Keep up the great blog! Happysailing2

I remember one year just as we were ready to start back to school on the second of Jan we got a good snow, then the wind started. We missed three weeks of school. We had snow piled taller than the school bus on many roads. Everyone had their dozers out clearing the roads then it would be drifted in again 6 hours later. Fun times for kids Anything worth doing is worth doing right

It is certainly as reliable as some of the global warming scare stories that you read! The world is in an interglacial period now, the periodicity of which is measured in millenia. Human measurements on climate and meterology perhaps have a record of two hundred years with only a few decades of (one hopes) accurate and precise measurements. Canadian Farmers' Almanacs can't be wrong all of the time!

In one of my blogs this year I did facts about unusual countries and their contributions to a better world Tiny Bhutan is probably the "greenest" in terms of stopping CO2 from devouring us. It is the only country in the world that is carbon negative, which means it produces more oxygen than it consumes. Bhutan generates about 2.2 million tonnes of carbon annually, yet its forests absorb three times this amount, which creates a carbon sink. Sure, it’s a small country with a population of only 750,000, but other smaller countries—the Maldives, Luxembourg—haven’t managed this yet. The first thing you notice are the trees. A thick blanket of green wraps around the mountains, a complete contrast to the denuded hills of India or of many of the plains in the USA Maine's Farmer's Almanac or actually The Farmer's Almanac is printed right here in Lewiston Maine it it predicts a frigid, freezing, frosty horrible winter. Quoting Peter Geiger the editor: "Another wild ride". The almanac says it uses tidal action, planetary position, and other methods to predict the weather that modern scientists have long forgotten. I think we share the same almanac  quot;Farmers' Almanac released: 'Polar Coaster' winter ride aheadThe Lewiston-based almanac is known worldwide for its folklore and seasonal outlooks."
