The 1994 Hagers-Town Town and Country Almanack is just reaching the newsstands this week. This will be the Almanack’s 197th continuous year of publication.
The Almanack, known for its weather predictions that are made 18 months in advance, also discusses the results of ten years of collecting woolly bears and how they have done predicting winters. The Almanack publishes the up and down signs of the moon, tells one the best days of each month to plant, weed and harvest crops as well as go fishing to catch that “big one.” Also the Almanack gives many, many hints for the housewife, handyman, farmer and gardener as well as astronomical information.
The Almanack’s weather prognosticator, Professor William E. O'Toole, a Mount St. Mary’s College computer instructor, predicts a cold winter with above average snow fall and a drought for the summer of 1994.
For the' winter of 1998-1994 which covers a 160-day period from Nov. 1, 1998 to April 9, 1994. we can except 94 cold days, <58 wet days and 21 cyclonic storms. * This winter snow should be about 15 percent above normal levels, and O'Toole has predicted 45 inches of the white stuff. The first sign of snow will be in the form of light snow showers Nov. 11. 1998. There will be come more light snow showers the next several weeks and the first snow fall of any accumulation should be Dec. 11 and 12. And we could have a white Christmas and New Year’s as O’Toole predicts a snow fall on Dec. 24 and 25 and again on Jan 1-8. We received 65 inches of snow last year and it was the most in 15 years.
Temperatures for November, January and April should be below
