Tired of the Heat? Hang on - 2007 Farmers' AlmanacT Predicts "SHIVERY IS NOT
DEAD"

Lewiston, ME: After a brutally hot summer in most of the country, cool news
is on the way. The new edition of the Farmers' Almanac, which blows into
town every year around the end of August, contains some chilly predictions
for the upcoming winter.

"Shivery is not dead" reveals the 2007 Farmers' Almanac, alluding to its
winter weather forecast. "While global warming has taken up much of our
attention (as well as news coverage), our winter predictions are pointing
towards widespread cold from coast to coast, especially for the western
sections of the country," shares Peter Geiger, Philom., Editor. Geiger
continues, "The cold may not be as frigid as 30 or 40 years ago, but we do
expect this to be the coldest winter we've seen for quite a few years." And,
after last year's unusual warmth, this chill might make winter harder than
usual.

The 2007 Farmers' Almanac, released August 28, 2006, predicts the frigid
temperatures, as much as 20 degrees below seasonal norms (and nearly 40
degrees colder than last winter), for Montana, the Dakotas and parts of
Wyoming. For the Gulf Coast up through New England, unseasonably cold, or
"shivery," conditions are expected.

Snow, and lots of it, is also forecast for the nation's midsection, parts of
New England, and the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. "The Great Lakes
and Ohio River Valley may be the only area spared the extreme cold," reveals
Sandi Duncan, Philom., Managing Editor, "but this is not to say this area
won't be without its cold spells and significant snowfalls."

BRRRRR! I'm not a fan of the heat and humidity, but extreme cold is
just as bad for me. We're in the Great Lakes Region, so we may be
spared a lot of heavy snow...I hope...neither of us can shovel and it's
beyond our budget to hire it done very often.....Sharon in SW Ontario
