LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — The Farmer's Almanac is predicting a "winter deja vu." The Maine-based almanac is forecasting a cold and snowy winter from Maine to Montana. The 199-year-old publication makes its forecasts using a secret formula based on sunspots, moon phases and tidal action -- methods derided by modern scientists. But the scientists don't exactly have a great track record on long-range forecasts. The Climate Prediction Center missed last winter's extreme cold in New England and the previous winter's "polar vortex."
