OLD FARMER'S WEATHER FORECAST
New England; Rain, with snow in the North Country, then clearing, but look out!
Cold snap, followed by rain and snow. There's still a long way to go.
Greater New York-New Jersey: Wanner as the rains clear, then cooler turning to
cold and rainy. Better days are here as sunny skies appear.
Middle Atlantic Coastal: Rain in the north, then sunny and warm changing to
rain and cool, finishing warm. That's what we call "vanable."
Piedmont tc Southeast Coastal: Still cloudy with rain in the west A warming
trend settles in, but brings more showers. It’s April, after all.
