The Old Farmer's Almanac has hitched its winter forecast to the climate-change train: ``Everybody is on the wagon of global warming, less snow.'' But Bob Pannuto, a meteorologist whose relatively simple snow forecast model is renowned in the region, isn't along for the ride. Rather, the Marshfield resident predicts that the Boston area will get more than the annual average of 42 inches of snow, basing his call on his simple premise that a cold fall usually leads to a snowy winter. The South Shore averages about 10 inches less than the city, Pannuto said. Although his model has an impressive track record, he has been around New England and the weather world long enough to know that Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate. ``This (model) has been right since the winter of 2000, so I think I'm due for a fall,'' Pannuto said, chuckling. His predictions grew out of a paper he published in the National Weather Digest in 1978. Now his model is ``the only useful predictor'' for Boston's snowfall, said Patriot Ledger meteorologist Rob Gilman. The climatology- and statistics-based model bases its forecast on fall temperatures. This year, the average temperature in October was 5.1 degrees higher than normal, while the November average was 1.2 degrees below the norm. Because Pannuto gives greater weight to the later temperatures, he concluded that there is a 59 percent chance that the area will get above-average snowfall this winter. ``If you have a cold trend that is starting'' -- a ...
