When you live in the Midwest, there's always the possibility that weather will throw you a surprise on or around Thanksgiving. One of the Farmer's Almanacs has just shared their prediction for what the Land of Lincoln can expect once we get to the season when all the turkeys are nervous.
It's odd to hear the word "hurricane" and "Illinois" in the same sentence, but the effects of current Hurricane Francine are expected to impact at least parts of Illinois if not the whole state by the end of the week.
Be wrong. Oh, please be wrong. A brand new warning about the upcoming winter comes from an online forecaster who's sole purpose is to predict wintry weather. He says that he expects both Missouri and Illinois to get what he describes as the "worst of winter". Oh, boy.
Hold on a second. I need to catch my breath from laughing (or was that crying?) after I just saw that Farmer's Almanac is predicting snow for Illinois. Yes, I checked. It's still August. What the?
I will admit this is a very odd topic to bring up right after a massive heat wave, but it's not my fault. Blame Farmer's Almanac who claims they can predict the first Fall frost for every place in Illinois. I'm limiting them to just 20 major places.
