Meteorologists smartly rip Old Farmer’s Almanac forecast for cold winter in the East

The 2016 version of the Old Farmer’s Almanac is out, and with it is a set of unsubstantiated forecasts that meteorologists are prudently warning consumers take with a massive grain of salt. The Almanac calls for colder than average winter for much of the East and Upper Midwest. Generally, it favors above normal snowfall in northern areas east of the Rockies and below normal snowfall in southern areas. This includes the Atlantic seaboard, which spans the I-95 corridor from Richmond to Boston. Yes, this would imply another snowy winter for Beantown (and not a lot of snow from Richmond to Baltimore).
