Since 2010 ended in one of the biggest snow storms in New York City history, I decided to check the Old Farmer's Almanac to see what we can expect here in Brooklyn for the rest of this winter. Not quite sure how a farmer would go about predicting the weather here in Brooklyn, but there doesn't seem to be anything too out of the ordinary in January and February's forecast. Snow, rain and cold. The usual stuff. But before you despair, you may be happy to know that there are only 76 days left till Spring. That's not so bad, is it?
