Happy New Almanac Year! It’s time to celebrate the 232nd edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac! Long recognized as North America’s most beloved and best-selling annual, this handy yellow book fulfills every need and expectation as a calendar of the heavens, a time capsule of the year, and an essential reference that reads like a magazine. Always timely, topical, and distinctively “useful, with a pleasant degree of humor,” the Almanac is consulted daily throughout the year by users from all walks of life.
The 2024 edition contains the fun facts, predictions, and feature items that have made it a cultural icon: traditionally 80 percent–accurate weather forecasts; notable astronomical events and time-honored astrological dates; horticultural, culinary, fashion, and other trends; historical hallmarks; best fishing days; time- and money-saving garden advice; recipes for delicious dishes; facts on folklore, farmers, home remedies, and husbandry; amusements and contests; plus too much more to mention—all in the inimitable Almanac style that has charmed and educated readers since 1792.

Dealing with a Power Outage
What should you do in case of a power outage? Here are a few tips for preparing, living through, and cleaning up after an outage:
Preparing for Power Outage
• Have flashlights or LED lanterns on hand. Be sure to check their batteries regularly. Attach a strip of glow-in-the-dark tape to your flashlights to make them easy to find. • Get a portable USB battery pack to keep your cell phone charged up during an outage. During an outage, dim the brightness of your phone to save battery life. • Avoid using candles or any open flame as a light source, as they can be a fire hazard, particularly if there are children or pets in the home. • Make a list of shelters and hotels that allow pets in case you need to evacuate with yours.
Cooking and Eating Without Power
• Open your refrigerator or freezer only when necessary. If the door stays closed, a refrigerator without power will keep food safe for four hours. A full freezer will keep its temperature for 48 hours (or 24 hours if half full). • Eat food you know is safe from spoiling. Good examples are canned foods, such as vegetables, beans, and soups. • If the weather allows, cook on your outdoor grill—but only outdoors. Due to the possibility of fumes and fire, never use an outdoor grill indoors. • If it’s cold enough outside, fill clean plastic milk jugs with water and put them outside to freeze solid. Put these jugs into coolers, which can serve as temporary refrigerators for food supplies.
i. Headline: What to Do if You Lose Your Water
• When extreme weather threatens, fill up your bathtub with water (for washing and flushing). Note: If you expect temperatures to drop below freezing in your house, avoid filling up the tub, as you could end up with a frozen (and cracked) bathtub. • In cold climates, pack fresh snow in buckets and bring them indoors to melt. • In winter, keep pipes from freezing by turning on a slow trickle of water. Protect pipes from freezing by wrapping them with layers of newspaper and then plastic wrap.
