The Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting eastern U.S. 'refriger-nation'
The eastern two-thirds of the United States, including Southwest Georgia, is predicted to see temperatures as much as 5 degrees lower than average in some winter months, according to forecasters with the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
“Across the eastern two-thirds of the country we’re calling it refriger-nation, then you see it turns almost exactly opposite on the (Rocky) Mountain line,” said Janice Stillman, who is in her 14th year as editor the annual publication. In an interview last week, Stillman said that the almanac’s meteorologist told her his computations actually indicated a greater deviation from normal than what he was comfortable with predicting.
##“It could very well be colder than what is printed in the book,” she said.
