I know there is the long term forecast thread but I found this is remarkable and thought it deserved its own.
They say the Alamanac's long term forecasts have an 80% accuracy rate!! If that claim is "accurate" it's totally crazy!!

"The Almanac has a record of 80 percent accuracy, which has been achieved using a formula honed by its forecasters over centuries. They use solar science, climatology, and meteorology to predict whether or not it’s worth getting up at dawn next Thursday to claim first tracks.
Stillman promises the 2020-2021 winter will be a good one, with early snowstorms in the East, above-normal snowfall in the Rockies, and a late-season dump west of the Rockies. This may also be the year to cross the northern border (if we’re permitted, of course). The big bonanza will be in southern Quebec and southern Ontario,” she says. “We’re predicting much above-normal snowfall in both places, with several snowstorms throughout the season.”
