The Farmers' Almanac is out with its 2023-2024 Winter Outlook and it's calling for a traditional winter to return.
According to theirWinter 2024 Extended Weather Forecast, which they've playfully dubbed, "The BRRR Is Back!" our part of the midwest, along with our neighbors to the north in Michigan, and those to the east in Ohio can expect a "cold and stormy" winter season, which sounds — um, how...
The projected changes in seasonal precipitation over the entire US and subregions (i.e., NW-Northwest, SW-Southwest, NGP-Northern Great Plains, SGP-Southern Great Plains, MW-Midwest, SE-Southeast, NE-Northeast, and US-all of US) across the SSP2–4.5, SSP3–7.0, and SSP5–8.5 scenarios...
While none of the above would come as a great surprise to any New Englander, meteorologically speaking there is no way to make such predictions. It would be like throwing a dart, while blind-folded, and trying to hit a moving target that is 100 yards away (farther than you can actually...
weather events like heat waves, droughts, tornadoes, and hurricanes are harder to forecast. “Our long-range predictions rely on an assumption that the future will be similar to the past,” wrote Fry. “Lose that, and we lose the tools that have allowed us to prepare for such eventual...
Despite a predictions for a moderate (3) activity we saw nothing. However the resort offers a snowcoach ride up to the top of a surrounding mountain which is likely dark enough. The hot water is also used to produce electricity, and to heat a number of greenhouses which provide fresh ...
The Farmers' Almanac put a lot of time and energy into figuring out the extended weather forecast for 2024. I'm not a math genius but they have a few on staff that used mathematical and astronomical formulas to create their latest predictions. And if you live in the Midwest, you'd bette...
Understanding the drivers of yield levels under climate change is required to support adaptation planning and respond to changing production risks. This study uses an ensemble of crop models applied on a spatial grid to quantify the contributions of vari

all EF > 0 and three of the four CD > 1 which indicated the simulated values could estimate the trend in the observed data more accurately than that in observed mean. In summary, the results suggested that the SPACSYS model could provide reasonably accurate yield predictions for both crops. ...
