Please note that when you hear Farmer's Almanac, there are two different sites now. There is the "new" Farmer's Almanac and the "old" Farmer's Almanac. In this case, it's the "old" one I'm referring to.

As I was a kid growing up in Missouri, my dad always told me that if I didn't like the weather all I had to do was wait 10 minutes because it was certain to change. He was not wrong.
