Managing Editor Jack Burnett says he expects the season to be “heavy-duty”. “A little milder than normal, but not much, punctuated by some shots of severe cold and heavy snow,” he told CityNews Halifax. “We’re looking at at least five major snowstorms, two of them back to back, just like the first week of January.” The Almanac predicts the coldest days in the first 10 days of December and the first 10 days of January. Burnett said they’ve been using almost the same weather forecasting methods for more than 230 years. “Take into account local weather conditions and local weather agents, in your case the ocean,” he explained. “The second thing is the long-term weather trends in an area, what we now call climatology, and the third thing is solar science, or solar radiation, as it comes from sunspots.” They then look at weather conditions from the past and look for patterns. “And we say, knowing what’s important to us, it would make sense that what happened then would happen now,” Burnett said. “It’s all done by computers, they spit it out and we’re just the messenger.” Burnett added that even though the Almanac covers more than the weather, that aspect is quite popular because it’s the one thing that affects all people.
