I know it's a little odd that we're all collectively sitting around sweating and I'm about to talk about frost, but cooler weather wishes seem to be on everyone's mind.

Farmer's Almanac may not have the most accurate track record historically, but they've been shockingly accurate with their long-range forecasts for three years now. If you haven't seen Oklahoma's winter forecast, FA is predicting it to be cold and wet.

While that seems unbelievable to believe, all signs point to us being at the end of a brutally hot Sooner State summer. If the current forecast holds true, the cold air should sweep in pretty early.
