There already are two forecasts by a pair of publications with long histories, and they're not exactly in agreement.
The Farmers' Almanac is saying the Northeast will see a more "normal" winter with cold conditions and plenty of snow.
Not so fast, says the Old Farmer's Almanac. It's saying that while much of upstate New York and New England will see snowy weather, the rest of the Northeast will see a "mild" but wet weather, with the Hudson Valley falling in that "milder" category.
The Farmers' Almanac was launched in 1818. The Old Farmer's Almanac has been in existence since 1792.
