What to Expect From January 2014 Weather

This years Old Farmer’s Almanac makes the forecast that this year January’s temperature will be two degrees Fahrenheit above average. While that sounds pretty good, I mean two above is much better than two degrees below average, does that mean it is time to put away the sweaters or turn off the heat? I don’t think so!

This morning, here in the Phoenix Metro area, the overnight low reached the thirties.  Depending on where you live here in the valley it was between thirty-four and thirty-eight degrees.  That is still cold enough to require an efficient heating system or furnace to keep your home warm, cozy and comfortable.

So if the Old Farmer’s Almanac is accurate that means it could have been as low as thirty-two degrees this morning rather than the thirty-four degrees.  Either temperature is cold enough for me.  How about you?

Just in case you want to plan ahead the Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting that overall February will be an average of two degrees Fahrenheit below average. Seems like we just can’t win when it comes to being warmer.

Old Farmer’s Almanac History

The Old Farmer's Almanac is North America's most popular reference guide and oldest continuously published periodical.  Its history is as rich and diverse as the Almanac itself.

Under the guiding hand of its first editor, Robert B. Thomas, the premiere issue of The Old Farmer's Almanac was published in 1792 during George Washington's first term as president. Although many other almanacs were being published at that time, Thomas's upstart almanac became an immediate success. In fact, by the second year, circulation had tripled from 3,000 to 9,000. Back then, the Almanac cost only six pence (about nine cents).
