For the first time after almost 200 years in print, this year's Farmer's Almanac comes with a disclaimer warning about El Nino affecting forecasts.

News 12 Meteorologist Joe Rao spoke with Sandi Duncan, the managing editor of the Farmer's Almanac. Since 1818, the almanac has published long-range weather forecasts. Duncan says the almanac still uses the basic formula to predict the weather, relying on sunspot activity, tidal action of the moon and position of the planets.

Duncan says the Farmer's Almanac predicts another cold winter for most of the country, with a large amount of precipitation for the East Coast. However, the Almanac also published a disclaimer saying there is a possiblity of an El Nino forming that could affect the cold outlook.
