Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Good morning, at 7:12 am, it's minus 26 and heading for a low of minus 33. We still have our two, normally the coldest months ahead. The Old Farmer's Almanac definitely got their Alaskan forecast wrong this year, "The 2026 edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its 2025–2026 US Winter Weather Forecast, offering predictions for all 18 regions of the country, including Alaska.

For Alaska, the Almanac forecasts milder-than-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation and snowfall. The coldest periods are expected in early to mid-December and again in mid-February. The snowiest stretches are projected for late November, mid-December, and early February.

The publication, first issued in 1792, claims an accuracy rate of about 80% for its long-range forecasts. Its predictions are based on a proprietary formula that factors in historical weather data, solar activity, and other influences. But meteorologists often urge caution when applying the Almanac's outlook to Alaska, given the state's size and complexity.

At one-fifth the size of the continental US, Alaska's weather is notoriously difficult to generalize. Local climates can differ dramatically between regions such as Southeast, Interior, and Arctic Alaska. A 2018 University of Alaska Fairbanks review found the Almanac's accuracy in Alaska was mixed, at about 65% for temperature predictions but closer to 50% for precipitation and snowfall.

Recent history reflects those inconsistencies. The 2024–2025 forecast underestimated snowfall in Anchorage while overestimating warmth in Fairbanks, though it correctly predicted mild spells in Southeast Alaska."

Good morning one and all! 🎄

Its currently breezy and sunny, 47°F. I've finished my small amount of Christmas shopping. I hope to set up my lights this afternoon. This morning I wound the spindle of slightly darker yarn into a ball and have begun knitting the first sleeve (for the second time). Not much else going on.

Have a Happy and a Merry Christmas!
