There are times of distinction
There are those to praise
I find it farfetched
This is one of those days

The media are assembled
The public’s interest piqued
All eyes are directed
To the rodent we seek

It’s time to get up chuck
Your moments at hand
The learned seek guidance
Strike up the band

6 weeks of winter
6 weeks of spring
You alone must decide
You can’t toddle between

Who says we’ve no leaders
History to fill
On this day we’re following

February 2008 Temperature and Precipitation Predictions

Dynamic Predictables is expecting February 2008 temperatures will be below average east of the Rockies and upper Great Basin.  The Southwest and Pacific Coast will be seasonal.  

February 2008 precipitation will be heavier than usual from the Central Plains and along the Rockies to the Canadian border then eastward toward the Great Lakes. Wetter than typical conditions are also expected from the Appalachians east and along the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to Long Island. The south from the lower Mississippi Valley west to southern California will be drier than average.  New England and the Lower Mississippi Valley northward into the Ohio Valley will be seasonal.

Weather based energy demands will be somewhat stronger than usual keeping pressure on price. In addition, growers will have to prepare for increased energy demands keeping grain bins cooled and dry. Livestock stress levels will be elevated.  The dormant winter wheat crop will face some difficulties with episodic cold and less than optimal moisture.

Cool temperatures could finally stir winter weather clothing demand, but energy and economic implications may impact retailer’s opportunities.  To be more successful in trying times, malls might try offering some entertainment value to entice the public.

Watch for a March 2008 outlook February 15, 2008.
