General Forecast for 2000 (Andreja's Almanac):

  • Winter: We will have a short winter with several days of record-breaking cold.  On the whole, though, it will be a mild winter with average precipitation.
  • Spring: Spring will come early with a burst of warmth, followed by a brief cold spell and then averaging out to normal temps.  We will have an unusually heavy number of magnificent thunderstorms and heavy rains, with at least one bad flood.
  • Summer: We will have an unseasonably cool summer this year, with frequent periods of light rains.  Towards the end of August we will have a very brief heat wave, with one or two "record-breakers", then temperatures will even out for the rest of the season.
  • Fall: This will be a very long and dry fall.  There will be a lot of heavy wind toward October.  Besides a few very light snow showers in November, the first snow won't come until late December of early January.  Temperatures won't begin to fall until mid December.
