Still on the Nail: The Farmers’ Almanac in the Age of Digital Knowing
The 210th edition of the Farmers' Almanac reaches the checkout racks this month, which means a locked box in Lewiston, Maine, has already done its work. The winter of 2026 and 2027 is settled and printed: snow, sleet, and surprises, with El Niño shoving the storm track south and the Northeast warned of a tricky mix. Whoever buys the booklet today already knows, in calm little type, what the sky will do in February. Or claims to. It will be read out loud at kitchen tables all winter. […] -
Hmmm... Bulkhead root cellar? That could work!
Storing Your Harvest Without a Root Cellar
"Now that you have grown and harvested beautiful fresh vegetables from your garden, how will you store them? Not everyone has access to a root cellar. Here are other ways to store your harvest to keep your homegrown fruits and vegetables ready to eat through the winter months!
In our great-grandmother’s day, most houses had a root cellar or a cold storage room somewhere in the house. Today’s modern houses don’t include that feature and pride themselves on having warm, dry, finished basements instead of cold, damp cellars with dirt floors (for a good reason!).
#RootCellar Alternatives
First, find a cool, dry place in your house:
- Does any room in your house stay below 60°F but above freezing?
- Do you have a closet on an outside wall?
- Can you section off the coolest corner of the cellar or attic?
- Do you have an unheated mudroom or entry?
- How about using picnic coolers or a clean metal garbage can with insulation in an unheated garage or shed?My parents used their bulkhead for cold storage. It had easy access from inside and outside, and the wide steps made handy shelves. My parents could open the bulkhead door occasionally to add fresh air, but the warmer cellar air kept things from freezing on extra-cold nights.
How to Store Different VegetablesDifferent fruits and vegetables need different temperatures and humidity levels for successful storage. There are four basic groups..."

#RootCellars: Types and Storage Tips
Written By: Sandy Newton
February 13, 2026"Root cellars are 'cool' again (pun intended!). With modern refrigeration, root cellars seemed obsolete. However, with a renewed interest in #gardening, #FoodSecurity, and even #SustainableLiving, root cellars have returned! Here are some advantages of storing root vegetables in a root cellar.
Take a look at a few types of root cellars.
Before refrigeration, an underground #RootCellar was an essential way to store carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, potatoes, and other #RootVegetables. Today, root cellars have returned to keep food from freezing during the winter and keep food cool during the summer to prevent spoilage.
What Is a Root Cellar?
Technically, a root cellar is any storage location that uses the earth’s natural cooling, insulating, and humidifying properties. Whether you stock a root cellar with your own homegrown produce or the bounty from the local farmers’ market, it’s a time-tested storage method.
Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, beets, parsnips, rutabagas, and turnips are typically stored in a root cellar. The environment is ideal for storing jars of canned or pickled vegetables and the bulbs or rhizomes of perennial flowers as well. A secondary use for the root cellar is as a place to store wine, beer, or other homemade alcoholic beverages."

February’s full snow moon will shine in the night sky this weekend – CNN
See February’s full snow moon light up the sky

Look to the sky this weekend for a chance to see February’s wintry full moon, which comes as four astronauts prepare to make a historic journey around the silvery orb.
The full moon will peak at 5:09 p.m. ET Sunday, occurring near sunset and appearing fullest while low in the eastern sky, according to EarthSky.
However, the moon will still appear full Saturday and Monday, said Noah Petro, chief of NASA’s Planetary, Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Laboratory at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
February’s full moon is known as the snow moon, after the heavy snowfalls often experienced across parts of North America this time of year, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
Other monikers from indigenous tribes for this month’s full moon include the sleet moon from the Comanche people, the Creek tribe’s wind moon and the crow moon as named by the Shawnee.
With the anticipated launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission, which could lift off in February, it’s a great time for sky-gazers to familiarize themselves with the moon, Petro said.

“Go out and look at it when it’s full, when it’s partially full, and learn its geography,” said Petro, who leads the science team for the Artemis III mission, which aims to land humans near the lunar south pole. “Start learning what features are where and what it looks like as the moon goes through its phases to celebrate the fact that we are in this Artemis era and going back to the moon.”
It’s possible to see light and dark areas on the lunar surface with the naked eye, but Petro recommends using a telescope, which is helpful for spotting craters and other features.
It’s a great way to “absorb the full breadth of what the moon has to offer to the casual observer,” Petro added.
Supermoons and full moons
Sky-gazers can anticipate seeing supermoons in the night sky in November and December. Supermoons occur when the moon is closest to Earth during its orbit, making it appear brighter and fuller than a regular full moon.

On average, the moon is about 238,900 miles (384,472 kilometers) from Earth. But December’s supermoon will be the closest of the year at 221,667 miles (356,740 kilometers) away, according to EarthSky.
Here are the rest of the full moons in 2026, according to the Farmers’ Almanac:
- March 3: Worm moon
- April 1: Pink moon
- May 1: Flower moon
- May 31: Blue moon
- June 29: Strawberry moon
- July 29: Buck moon
- August 28: Sturgeon moon
- September 26: Harvest moon
- October 26: Hunter’s moon
- November 24: Beaver moon
- December 23: Cold moon
Lunar eclipses
For those interested in seeing a different perspective of the moon, a total lunar eclipse will appear in the night sky above Asia, Australia, the Pacific Islands and the Americas on March 3.
A lunar eclipse can occur only during a full moon when the sun, Earth and moon align and the moon passes into Earth’s shadow. When this phenomenon happens, Earth casts two shadows on the moon. The partial outer shadow is called the penumbra; the full, dark shadow is the umbra.

🚜 The Farmers' Almanac bids a tearful #goodbye by putting on a grand #circus of ads, subscriptions, and calendars you'd never use. Clearly, they're hoping you'll get lost in the clutter and accidentally buy something. 🎪 Who knew predicting the weather required this much spam? 🌧️📅

After more than 200 years in print, The Farmers' Almanac will end its run with its 2026 issue, which is now available. The publication specializes in longterm weather predictions and fishing and gardening guides. In a statement to @abc, editor Sandi Duncan said the publication will live on in the way readers share the knowledge they gleaned from it. "Its spirit and true goal of spreading a way of thinking — one that values simplicity, seasonal wisdom, and the amazing gifts from nature will live on for eternity thanks to our fans and readers," she added.

A Guide to Starting Vegetable Seeds Indoors
Catherine Boeckmann, February 24, 2025
"When do you start your seeds indoors? Sow too early, and the plants may be ready to leave their pots before it’s warm enough outside. Sow seeds too late, and they won’t have enough time to reach maturity. We’ll provide some tips, as well as a chart on how many weeks to sow indoors before last spring frost.
"The Hindi word for seed is #bija, meaning 'containment of life.' This is an apt description of these tiny miracles that contain everything needed to make a new plant. This time of year, we are up to our elbows in dirt, starting more seeds indoors each week!"

Good Morning #Canada
Today, I am taking advantage of the exceptionally warm Fall #Weather to squeeze in what is likely my final #Golf game of the season. According to the #FarmersAlmanac, the longe range winter forecast predicts below averages temperatures and above average snowfall for most of Canada. Sure studies have shown that the Almanac has a 52% accuracy rate in weather predictions, but that's better than a coin flip. You've been warned.#CanadaIsAwesome

Good Morning Canada!
Yesterday one of my neighbours dropped by and in casual conversation mentioned how warm this summer will be according to the Farmer's Almanac. He has a small farm with cattle and chickens and believes in the Almanac, planting and planning his hay harvest with their schedules. I don't argue since he clears my driveway in the winter and provides free manure for my garden. So get ready for a hot summer.#Canada #CanadaIsAwesome #farmersalmanac
