But the almanac sucks ass, and the models are excellent. The almanac does worse than chance guessing. However, since the almanac _claims_ to be right, you believe. I hope you all don't have the Home Shopping Network channel available, given how little BS resistance you possess.
In contrast, we in the reason-based community have finely calibrated BS detectors, so we know you're spouting nonsense. You can't snow us, so one wonders why you keep trying. Yes, it plays well with your fellow cultists, and many high-fives are exchanged. The rest of the world is laughing at you, and you've turned yourselves into irrelevant jokes.
A RECORD-SETTING BLIZZARD KILLED 75,000 COWS AND YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT
Ranchers are still digging out thousands of their cattle that became buried in a record-setting snowstorm in South Dakota late last week and over the weekend.
One would think the death of 75,000 cows by upwards of five feet of snow might get some national attention, but as one blogger observed, it has taken some time for the news of the precipitation massacre to reach outside of local media.

Early estimates suggest western South Dakota lost at least 5 percent of its cattle, said Silvia Christen, executive director of the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association. Some individual ranchers reported losses of 20 percent to 50 percent of their livestock, Christen said. The storm killed calves that were due to be sold soon as well as cows that would produce next years calves in an area where livestock production is a big part of the economy, she said.
This is, from an economic standpoint, something were going to feel for a couple of years, Christen said.
Dang. That's gonna hurt a lot of folks.

The denialists are devolving. Now they're rejecting modern forecasting and swearing by the Farmer's Almanac. Next up, Westwall tells us about the groundhog seeing his shadow, wooly bear caterpillars, his rheumatism acting up, and the rest of his precision climate prediction tools.

BWAHAHAHA
Like the one that gave us the hockey stick prediction????
Your BS detectors never seem to go off when people try to control you more and more, unless you have some masochistic desire to be told by big daddy government how to live, eat breathe and think.
Its always comical when the progressive lemmings say they are "free thinkers" when they come to the same conclusion as the other progressive lemmings.

Yeah, the models predicted the early snow.

What gets me is these ranchers - don't they watch weather reports?

Then, it rained for 12 hours before it changed to snow...so the cows were soaked. Hypothermia got 'em.What gets me is these ranchers - don't they watch weather reports?
there was a few problems
first most cattle this early in the year are out on grazing pastures
two this early in the year the cattle have not grown their winter hides

beef cattle pretty much live outside 24/7 /365
the summer pastures offer little or no protection from the elements
The Almanac has an 80% hit rate
