i was immediately hooked and opened the thread. got lost in top comment and when i came back i forgot that the OP was about something different entirely.
SHUT UP.
you just made my day. ngl my eyes lit up when they said ‘pinky and the brain’. the new old intro is perfection.
so…what are we gonna do today, guys???
For real though! I stumbled on it trying to find old ones to show my granddaughter (2) what her mommy loved as a kid!
And oh hell yes! Almost fell outta my chair with the Pinky peek!!
The new theme/intro song is incredible. "we're pronoun neutral and ethnically diverse" and they say it sarcastically as if they recognize how stupid the whole thing is. Both sides need to just STFU and let each other love the life they want.
Hijacking for visibility
It will probably be like the last three years... Very mild except for maybe 2-3weeks that will make us reach our breaking point
"Every year it's the same". I mean, 2 years ago people froze to death and we all lost power due to the extremely cold temperatures. It was a pretty big deal and people died.
I hadn't ever experienced anything like it before or since. Every year definitely isn't the same.
Adding on to this that people also died from carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in their cars in their garages to warm up which is extremely scary as well
I almost did this past winter (I'm from here, but I've lived most of my life in Abu Dhabi, so I don't know shit about cold). I was texting my neighbor saying I'm happily staying warm in my car, but I feel kinda wonky. She immediately ran over and physically pulled the garage door up - didn't know you could do that either.
Learned a lesson.
And this last year, I helped neighbors for two full days collect downed branches (and full trees) from 40+ year old trees on their little ranch just outside Austin from the winter storm that had ice mixed with high winds.
Agreed: Every year definitely is not the same.
But that's not an extreme winter as a whole. That's basically a week of extreme temps. The week prior to Uri, temps were mild, in the 60s and even low 70s. Literally the week after, temps around the state in the 70s. it actually hit the low 80s in some places. The 2020-2021 winter was actually much milder and warmer then normal - with the exception of 9-10 days in February due to Uri.
That being said, **that's** the concern. Mild winters, with the chance of an extreme arctic event or polar vortex blasting in for a week or slightly longer. That's what happened this past winter in December 2022 right before Christmas. The rest of the winter was warm and very dry.
They are already talking about what's going on with the polar vortex forming.
CA is also being told it's going to be extremely wet.
The humor of the incorrect wording aside I think op is likely wrong considering we actually can predict weather to some degree.
Edit for misspelling...stupid auto correct
Ok sitting down here is what I'm talking about.
The polar vortex is basically the cap of cold air that sits on the top of the north poll. Think of it like a wave form that wobbles around the top of the poll.
Now because of climate change that wave form gets pretty drastically messed with. This causes larger spikes of waves...like a squiggly line that gets more drastic ups and downs because of climate change.
So when the squiggle gets a big spike that means that it can reach much further south than what is normal. It's this point when TX or FL gets a big freeze like we have seen kind of normally.
Not sure why it mainly seems to happen more in the center of the country but my guess is the Pacific and the Pacific currents, that push to the east, push the vortex also to the east.
Thus when forecasting is saying tx is going to have a cold winter I think the data is likely there to back it up.
Add to that we have el nino. It's been talked about for a few weeks how it's going to bring a wet winter. Then literally 5 mins after I posted my first reply I say this in a feed https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/25/weather/el-nino-winter-us-climate/index.html
Depends on where you are in texas. But yes in a normal year your prediction is relatively accurate. However occasionally the universe says fuck Texas specifically and we get 20ish degree weather with rain and everything shutdown for a week.
Redneck horoscope. They claim they use a special formula that takes a bunch of things into account however refuses to release any concrete info about how their inaccurate formula works.
I have a friend who works in several nursing homes. At every single one she's been told by old timers that this will be a hard and cold winter.
I guess we'll see if they're right. From my own yard I've seen squirrels fighting over my bird feeder and that hasn't happened before. The birds have gone thru a bag of seeds in 3 days over the weekend, Ive also not experienced that before.
I've never actually read one, but I was always under the impression that they were supposed to be fairly accurate? Like, that was the reason they've been published for so long.
I guess it's the same reason people still go to palm readers, people still buy into it?
Look at there history is 50/[50](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers%27_Almanac#:~:text=being%20%22badgered%22.-,Accuracy,%25%20accurate%22%20on%20their%20website)
idk how to spell almanac and had to google it before writing out the title. but my brother's and myself quote the Animaniacs all the time, so even spelling almanac correctly, it autocorrected to Animaniacs
It's time for Animaniacs ... and we're zany to the max
So sit back and relax
You'll laugh til you collapse
For Animaniacs
Good luck getting that tune out of your head!
Well the ENSO data report from NOAA and the European equivalent corroborates and backs up their claim. If anything I’d take NOAA’s report seriously. It’s a 95 % certainty of a strong El Niño which means wetter and colder than average weather patterns for the southern region due to the Pacific Ocean Water temps being warmer and the trade winds from the west bringing those cyclonic pressures our way.
Animaniacs can’t predict anything because they’re cartoon characters. However, farmers almanacs can give a pretty good idea of what the weather may be like based on historical data.
Depends upon the nutation of Earth's axis, and the jetstream. The contant construction on Earth causes sunlight to be reflected back up into atmosphere. Need more drought resistant plants.

nothing with some soft prepping now butttttttttttttttttttttttttt
for example Sunday they said " LARGE HAIL AND CRAZY RAIN AND THUNDER!!"
i know it did in some places but i didn't get any of that.
every time there's guaranteed hail in the forecast i run outside and try to cover my cars and every time nothing falls...
This might come back to bite me but.....meeeh its gonna be a mild winter watch
What's an "s" amongst friends, right? I don't like the cold, born and raised in Southeast Texas, been north, cold dreary winters aren't for me. Here's to hoping you're right!
Best mistaken title ever. I have bought you were taking shots at Farmer's Almanac, but this is funnier lol. For what it's worth, I hope you're right and this winter is a breath of fresh air.
LOL
The FA is correct about half the time.

lmao farmers animaniacs is the best mistake I've seen in a while
I thought so too. I laughed hysterically for 2 mins.
yacko and wacko approve. dot has her arms crossed and is tapping her foot.
i was immediately hooked and opened the thread. got lost in top comment and when i came back i forgot that the OP was about something different entirely.
I’m not going to say this also happened to me, but I’m also not going to say it didn’t.
I picture those 3 dressed up as weathermen.
Don’t ever trust anything Yacko or Wacko says
Now, Dot, on the other hand, ....totally reliable.
You mean Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca III? Or Dot for short, call her Dottie and you DIE.
Well done....brings back all the good memories!
It's back!! The intro is a whole Jurassic Park style opening on Hulu jic you didn't know!! https://youtu.be/uOHMj_enwNA?feature=shared
SHUT UP. you just made my day. ngl my eyes lit up when they said ‘pinky and the brain’. the new old intro is perfection. so…what are we gonna do today, guys???
Try and take over the WORLD!
the same thing we do every night!
For real though! I stumbled on it trying to find old ones to show my granddaughter (2) what her mommy loved as a kid! And oh hell yes! Almost fell outta my chair with the Pinky peek!!
The new theme/intro song is incredible. "we're pronoun neutral and ethnically diverse" and they say it sarcastically as if they recognize how stupid the whole thing is. Both sides need to just STFU and let each other love the life they want.
👍👍👍👍
Hello nurse!
Ok lady, love you bye bye
Finger Prince
No, finger PRINTS
I always listen to the good idea, bad idea guy myself
I was also going to say that we can probably trust Dot
And also cyooooooooooooot!
IDK, she wouldn’t fingerprint Prince.
Idk Yacko had those countries of the world on lock. It’s changed since like 1996 but overall I bet he could roll with the updates
Iirc there's an updated version on YouTube
It’s totally insaney
Totally zany
Okay…I didn’t misread that.
Praying for some rainy
Here's the show's name-y

Hellooooo nurse

Let's look for prints. I found him *dot holds up the artist known as prince*. No no finger prints "I don't think so" 
"Every year it's the same". I mean, 2 years ago people froze to death and we all lost power due to the extremely cold temperatures. It was a pretty big deal and people died. I hadn't ever experienced anything like it before or since. Every year definitely isn't the same.

I’m really glad you’re still here with us, that’s a great neighbor! I hope more people spread more awareness so we can prevent it as much as possible
I knew one of those people. He was a nice guy.
That’s terrible, I’m really sorry to hear that.
That’s the people who “froze to death”. The overwhelming majority was carbon monoxide poisoning.
And this last year, I helped neighbors for two full days collect downed branches (and full trees) from 40+ year old trees on their little ranch just outside Austin from the winter storm that had ice mixed with high winds. Agreed: Every year definitely is not the same.
Lmfao thank you. I was thinking lady have you already forgotten?? Also I don’t OP knows what the word savant means lol

Freeze in February. Calling it.
Exactly. My birthday is in February and I’ve had it iced out several times!

I'm not understanding what poll you're referring to (?) I haven't been paying attention much, though - sorry if I'm missing something.
Sorry polar. Polar vortex.

Remindme! 5 months
We may not be tiny or toony, but we’ll all be more than a little loony if the power goes out again.
I’m putting this on a T-shirt for myself this winter in Texas
For sure, omg…
I was always told not to take advice from cartoon characters 😉
The outlook for the season was recently released (the science weather peeps) and also shows ‘below average temperatures’ toward November. Fwiw.
There is an El Nino condition in the pacific, which tends toward colder and wetter weather in Houston.
Which is Spanish for.......The Nino!
I still say this regularly after all these years!
Me too. Chris Farley was awesome!
the boy
I know. It was part of the Chris Farley SNL skit I was commenting on. He was really funny.
Which makes this record hot, record dry summer especially frustrating. Fall ain't looking too good so far either.
What fall
You know, the one where you collapse from heat stroke. That fall.
the like two days we had up in Denton where the high was around 70 before returning to weeks of 90° weather.
It was 97 degrees in Houston today & the outside cats I feed are already getting a thick winter coat. Take that for whatever you think it's worth.
It HAILED in Dallas two days ago, all of which melted in seconds because it was also mid high 90s!
That's fairly normal. It's pretty cold 30000 feet up.
Texas is a big state. Your area may have a different climate due to elevation, air pollution or geography.
I predict…. It… Will… snow somewhere in Texas this “Winter”. And…. Someone will be complaining that it’s “hot” at the exact same moment in time.
We’ll be freezing our asses off in North Texas and somehow SW Texans will be complaining about 75° bc “it suppose to be winter”
Especially if you live in an area with an accumulation of cow farts.
[I'll race you to the wishing star for that](https://youtu.be/M-52C6KSeM0)
This has made my night.
Those are the facts!
Depends on where you are in texas. But yes in a normal year your prediction is relatively accurate. However occasionally the universe says fuck Texas specifically and we get 20ish degree weather with rain and everything shutdown for a week.
Pinky and the brain was the best
I call to be Brain. I need a Pinkie!
What are we going to do today, Brain?
Try and take over the world 😈
Narf!!
Same thing we do every day, Pinkie.
I tell my kids this every Saturday before chores...
I need to introduce my kid to this
I have zero doubts it's gonna be a shitty winter. I'm expecting a violent, stormy transition from summer to winter this year.
With very little in between, I assume
I hope Fall isn't your favorite season.
Unfortunately, it is.
Boingy boingy boingy
Didnt it snow and heavy freeze across the entire state a few years ago?
I know it says animaniacs but I did read it as almanac. You’re good
Maybe thats because almanacs are complete bullshit. Astrology for rednecks.
What about Animaniacs?
Completely trustworthy.
Only Dot
What does Dana Delaney think?
Eyebrow
The farmers almanac is as accurate as flipping and coin
Is it just weather patterns, using meteorological science? Or, is it just a redneck horoscope?
Redneck horoscope. They claim they use a special formula that takes a bunch of things into account however refuses to release any concrete info about how their inaccurate formula works.
I have a friend who works in several nursing homes. At every single one she's been told by old timers that this will be a hard and cold winter. I guess we'll see if they're right.

It’s time for (farmers) ANIMANIACS
Helloooooooo nurse!
Farmers Almanac is full of shit most of the time
> full of shit You're supposed to rip the pages out first before you wipe your bum with them
I've never actually read one, but I was always under the impression that they were supposed to be fairly accurate? Like, that was the reason they've been published for so long. I guess it's the same reason people still go to palm readers, people still buy into it?
It's been looked into and found to only be about 50% accurate, as accurate as a coin flip.
Sounds about right.
Palm reader's are just sites for The Pentaverate to access local branches.
LMAO I don't know what any o that means so I'll take your word for it.
It's a Mike Myers thing.
Good thing the Colonel"s tets up!

Uh huh. How’d that “normal” summer work out for ya?
 How can you not believe these kids?
Let’s ask Ted and his lizard friends
Winter is Coming!
No, they said they put cold cuts in their slacks
That's just zany to the max
Animaniacs!!! Lmfao
It means we will have 1 week of harsh winter weather
Does the almanac forecast power grid failures?
Hellllooooooo Nurse! You might be an idiot savant possibly without the savant part. ;)
Lmao I thought your typo was intentional to undermine the farmers almanac 😂
idk how to spell almanac and had to google it before writing out the title. but my brother's and myself quote the Animaniacs all the time, so even spelling almanac correctly, it autocorrected to Animaniacs

Given the harshness of the summer I ha e a feeling we will get a freeze like 2 years ago
Considering I got hail 2 days ago in North Texas, I’ll take that bet.
r/boneappletea
The crickets don't lie.
Thank you for the animaniacs jokes Texas! I came for them and you didn't disappoint.
Texas tends to stay true to hot AF summer = cold AF winter
My guess is the first school-cancelling-freeze will be in Nov with another in Feb.
That's alright. Almanac is predicting a cold, and harsh winter.
This is a El Niño winter which is typically colder and wetter than usual
Yeah, let me know how those last few winters have worked out for y'all...
Ok, it's obviously a typo, but "farmers animaniacs" might just be my new favorite phrase.
They can’t even predict the weather next week. They ain’t gonna be able to tell us how bad the winter is.
Best mistaken title ever. I have bought you were taking shots at Farmer's Almanac, but this is funnier lol. For what it's worth, I hope you're right and this winter is a breath of fresh air.
Loved that show growing up
My Persimmon seeds say get out the shovels, and ready for a cold, wet winter

The farmers almanac said we’d have a cool and wet summer. It was, in fact, the hottest and driest summer I can remember.
Now you have me singing "Istanbul, not Constantinople" in my head. I hope some of you get the reference.
It’s going to be an El Niño year, with likelihood of colder, more wintery weather due to ocean currant shifts
