The editors claim to arrive at their weather forecasts forecasts by using secret techniques developed by the founder of the publication approximately 200 years ago and also some of the more modern forecasting methods. Incidentally, if the almanac almanac is correct, there will also be a snowstorm and milder weather December 29 to 31. At any rate, it looks like we'll have a white Christmas.
