(September 9, 2008)--The latest edition of the Old Farmer’s Almanac says a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next 50 years.

For the near future, the Almanac predicts most of the country will be colder than normal in the coming winter, with heavy snow from the Ozarks into southern New England.

The almanac also forecasts snow for northern Texas, with a warmer than usual winter in the northern Plains.

Last year, the Almanac correctly predicted "above-normal" snowfall in the Northeast and below-normal snowfall in the Mid-Atlantic States.

The Almanac predicts an active hurricane season in 2009, especially in Florida.
