Winter forecast: Get shovels ready

LEWISTON, Maine -- Get your sweaters, mittens and hats ready. The 2006 Farmers' Almanac warns that the coming winter will bring unusually sharp fluctuations in temperature, and says readers "may be reminded of riding a roller, or in this case, 'polar' coaster." The coldest weather will be in the Northeast, which also will get plenty of snow, the almanac said. It predicts cold weather for the South and Mid-Atlantic regions and snowy but mild weather in the Great Lakes and Midwest. Parts of the Rockies and the Great Plains may have drier-than-normal weather, but wetter-than-normal weather is predicted for the Pacific Northwest and lower Texas.

I'm not looking forward to the winter at all.
