The Farmers Almanac stirred things up late last month when they predicted this coming winter would be cold and wet.

The National Weather Service says predicting weather that far out is difficult but Chris Miller in Lincoln says that prediction is somewhat accurate.

Miller says things are trending to see a lot of weather patterns out of the north and northwest. He says that will make things pretty cold, but don't plan on extended periods of cold air, as things are likely to vary as they often do during the winter months.
