Weather
Our forecasts are regional. We very rarely mention any state by name, unless it is expected to see something different from the rest of the region. Check out the regional zones we cover on our long range weather forecast page.
We’ve been using the same formula for over 200 years based on math. As for the accuracy, readers claim we’re accurate about 85% of the time, which we think is pretty good. Even the best miss one on occasion! To learn more about how we predict the weather, visit our long range weather forecast page. Also check out our On The Money page for a history of our forecast accuracy.
Our forecasts cannot pinpoint the exact location of a tornado. Even the National Weather Service has difficulty doing that within a couple of hours, and our forecast is made more than two years in advance.
Unfortunately, we only provide predictions for the continental US and Canada.
You can look up weather history by zip code on our Weather History page.
Gardening
You can view a glossary of the gardening terms we use on our Planting by the Moon Calendar page.
All our planting information is based on phases of the Moon so it’s good across all growing zones, and therefore is “weather permitting.”

Here’s a little secret: we hate ads too! Unfortunately they represent one of our largest sources of online revenue, so we have to rely on them to be able to feed our chickens. You can help though by signing up for a membership (where you’ll rarely see ads). The more people who sign up, the more that helps us reduce our dependency on internet advertising.
At the top of the article next to the social share icons, you will see an icon of a printer and a PDF icon. Click the printer icon to print, the PDF icon will convert to PDF that you can save to your hard drive.
Unfortunately no, many of the images we use are stock photography and require a subscription. You may however share our weather maps, provided you include the appropriate link back to our site.
You may use portions of our articles in your newsletter as long as you give us the proper credit and link back to all articles.
Online Memberships
Make sure you are using the exact password that was assigned to you when you received your welcome email. If you are still having issues, reset your password. If you do not receive your password reset email, please check your spam/junk folder as they often end up there.
Login to your account to view your FA Dashboard. (It’s a good idea to bookmark this page!) From here, you will find your membership details, along with links to 12 month weather forecasts, calendars, your moonrise/moonset times, and soil temperatures at various depths. Stay logged in to see less ads as you navigate the site!
This can be for a variety of reasons, but the most common is a result of entering the wrong zip code or CVC security code as listed on your credit card. Try signing up again and carefully enter the correct payment information.
Your membership will renew automatically once a year unless you opted out at the time of purchase. You can toggle auto-renewal on or off at any time by logging into your account and selecting “Subscriptions” (on the lefthand margin).
You can click here to quickly log out, though we strongly recommend you stay logged in so you can always see your premium calendars and content, as well as easily access your Dashboard.
When you join our All-Access, you will be mailed the current edition of the Almanac at the time of your subscription/renewal date (not the new calendar year), unless you order during the months of June-July. During these months, we will hold your order until the new edition is ready, and then mail the newest edition to you before it hits the store shelves (early August). If you’ve signed up any other time of the year, your print edition should be received in 5-10 business days after you’ve signed up for All-Access.
If you signed-up for an online membership, you may cancel your Premium or All-Access subscription by logging into your account and selecting “Subscriptions” from the menu (on the lefthand margin). Please note: To receive a full refund, you must cancel your PREMIUM membership within 3 business days of signing up, and email [email protected]. For ALL-ACCESS Membership, since we ship a printed copy of the Almanac to you, you must cancel and request a refund via email within 1 business day from signing up. (If you place your order on the weekend, you will have until 5pm Eastern Time on the following Monday to make your request.) If you cancel at any other time, we will not be able to refund your membership fees.
Unless you notify us 24 hours before your autorenewal is scheduled to charge, we cannot refund your money for autorenewals. Your subscription will automatically continue and you authorize us to collect the applicable membership fees and any taxes using the payment we have on record for you.

Newsletter / Email
Here is the link to sign up for our Newsletter, including many options.
We provide an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter we send out. You may immediately unsubscribe by clicking on that link.
Make sure it’s not showing up in your junk/spam folder, as regularly sent emails can sometimes show up there. If you use Gmail, it may sometimes appear in the categories folder for “Promotions.” If you still cannot find it and are not getting any emails, contact [email protected] and we’ll check into it for you!
We never send more than one email a day (depending on what list you are subscribed to) and we never send spam. If you are receiving promotional advertisements by email that have no content except for ads, it is not coming from us. Look for the contact info at the bottom of such emails to find out where they are coming from and how to unsubscribe.
If you see a notification from us on your Android phone or on your Google browser, you may have seen what is known as a push notification. These notifications only appear if you opted in to receive alerts from our website directly. If you wish to turn these off, carefully follow the instructions at Google Support to disable notifications. Enlist the help of a tech-minded friend or relative if needed, as the instructions can be a little technical!

There are a couple of things you can do to be sure you always see our posts in your Facebook news feed. (Facebook doesn’t always deliver our posts to everyone a timely manner.)
