Re: 2013 Predictions
Let's see how I predicted 2012.
1.) LSU beats Alabama in BCS Championship in a close game. Alabama won.
2.) Green Bay Packers win Super Bowl XLVI. New York Giants won.
3.) There will be multiple cold blasts in January and February on the level of 1985. 2011-2012 winter was a warm winter.
4.) Arizona wins in March Madness. Kentucky won.
5.) Texas drought is declared over in late Spring after massive and widespread flooding similar to December 1991 Flood. Texas is still in a drought.
6.) There will be multiple tornado outbreaks. Tornado outbreaks did occur, including the most recent one.
7.) Los Angeles Lakers win the NBA Championship. Miami won.
8.) The hurricane season will be less active than 2010 and 2011, but more storms make landfall. Three major hurricanes make landfall on America. 2012 was just as active as 2010 and 2011 and Hurricane Sandy made landfall, which was devastating.
9.) The economy weakens again due to Europe's Financial Crisis. The economy is still weak.
10.) America wins the most gold medals in 2012 Olympics. America won most gold medals at 46.
11.) Multiple incidents of mass shootings throughout America, including one school shooting. There were Aurora movie theater and Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre.
12.) 2012 Elections ends up in the courts. Never happened.
13.) Texas Rangers go to the World Series again and win. San Francisco Giants won.
14.) Casey Anthony is in legal trouble again and goes to prison. Never happened.
15.) Westboro Baptist Church collapses. Still could happen.
16.) Jerry Sandusky will be sentenced to 400 years in prison. Sandusky was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison.
17.) Lindsey Lohan goes back to prison. Looks like that could happen in 2012.
18.) Iran's nuclear weapons program collapses. Not yet.
19.) A massive solar flare, even more powerful than Carrington Super Flare of 1859 and causes massive power failure. Never happened, but solar flare activity has not peaked.
20.) The world will not end on December 21, 2012. Spot on.
I got somethings right.
What will happen in 2013.
1.) Notre Dame wins BCS Championship in close game.
2.) Houston Texans win the Super Bowl XLVII.
3.) Huge Arctic blasts in January and February and on par with 1949, 1951, 1985, and 1989.
4.) Michigan wins in March Madness.
5.) Texas and American drought is over after a wet late winter and spring.
6.) Economy goes back into a recession.
7.) A former President will pass away.
8.) Two bright comets will occur and one will be the brightest and greatest in many years around Thanksgiving and Christmas (Comet ISON).
9.) Syrian Civil War becomes a Middle East wide war.
10.) Strings of mass shootings at various places.
11.) Terrorist attack in a place that is least expected.
12.) A massive solar flare, even more powerful than Carrington Super Flare of 1859 and causes massive power failure.
13.) Major television network will collapse.
14.) Massive earthquake in San Francisco Bay Area.
15.) Major hurricane makes landfall on Gulf Coast in a less than active hurricane season.
16.) Super typhoon makes landfall on Shanghai.
17.) More legal problems for Penn State stemming from Jerry Sandusky scandal and Sandusky being prosecuted for more crimes.
18.) North Korea launches a missile with a nuclear warhead, but falls into the ocean.
19.) A missing child case that gets a lot of media attention.
20.) Iran is attacked by Israel.

5. Once again there will be a massive tornado outbreak in the deep south in April. Not April. No massive outbreaks
6. Similar to 2011, weather worldwide will be cataclysmic and disastrous(yes I copied it) Not so much

17. The highest grossing film of the year will be animated and in 3D. Nope

Re: 2013 Predictions
2012:
1) I will lose another 10 pounds by the end of 2012 through exercise and diet. Okay, 5.5 lbs, but I'm happy and still trying.
2) Unemployment will lower to at least 8% by fall 2012. 7.9% in October, 7.7% in November
3) Protests will continue globe wide in 2012 ranging from lack of jobs to dictators. Syria's protests against al Assad will come to a head. He will not be in power by the end of 2012. There's still another 2 hours 50 minutes EST as I write this about al Assad... There were more protests though.
4) There will be a "stare down" between the US and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing more. Oil will still flow through there. No stare down and the oil is flowing.
5) Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge will become pregnant in 2012. It will be a son. Whadayaknow????
We'll see about the sex.
6) The Phillies will not see Ryan Howard play until after May. They will be in the hunt, but will not win the World Series. Howard came back in July and they REALLY came together towards the end of the season. Almost in the playoffs.
7) Winter in the Mid Atlantic will not be as harsh as the prior two record breaking years regarding snow. We will see normal temperatures with some cold spells. Some snow, but closer to normal amounts. First significant snow during the third or 4th week of January. We really didn't have any significant snow to speak off, so I was right about it not being harsh. LOL!
8) The stock market will still be volatile in 2012 with drops and increases of 300+ during a single day occurring multiple times. Overall, the market will still climb higher than 2011. It ended 2012 being just over 13,000 today.
9) The 2012 X-Factor season will be the last. Hmmmm...still out on that one.
10) More "pay it forward" and layaway payoff stories will appear during the course of 2012, not just around the holidays. An Alaskan called into the local general store to buy $500 of food that goes out the door. Someone from the West Coast a 1/2 hour later called and paid for $2,000 in food.
11) A mid level earthquake (around 5.0+) will hit Eastern Canada. It will be felt for hundreds of miles around the center. West Coast in October, 7.7 magnitude.
12) Another dormant volcano will erupt. New Zealand's Mt Tongariro erupted for the first time in over 100 years in August.
1) There will be no NHL season this year. WRONG
2) Andy Reid will be the new coach of the San Diego Chargers.[/color] The Eagles will go with a current College coach to replace him. It will be a bumpy ride. Chiefs for Reid, we'll see about the coach for the Eagles - Chip Kelly of Oregon so 1/2 right.
3) The Phillies will have Utley and Howard playing most of the year. They will be in the pennant race for the whole season and may make the playoffs via wildcard.
4) Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will go into exile.
5) Another "Egyptian Spring" will occur due to the current leadership in Egypt.
6) Unemployment will drop to the 7% range by year end.
7) An earthquake of 5 or a little more will hit the mid-southern states, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas.
8) Hillary Clinton will go into semi-retirement due to her health. She will not be in the public lime-light much this year.
9) I will buy my own home in 2013. YEP
10) The Denver Broncos will play in the Superbowl this year. WRONG
11) Tornado season will be very busy during the peak time of April & May. Another large town/small city will be heavily hit.
12) The summer economy for the New Jersey shore and Long Island beaches will be hit hard due to the destruction of Sandy.
13) Rebuilding along the NJ shoreline will begin, but the layout and structures will be very different due to newer environmental and structure requirements.NJ will follow FEMA's recommendations meaning structures will have to be about a story high off of the ground.
14) Hurricane season will be moderate in the number of storms. Not as many, but 3 or more tropical systems will make US landfall.
15) There will be a very well publicized tragedy at sea with a fairly large vessel.http://www.ctnow.com/news/sns-rt-us-usa-newyork-ferrybre9080o9-20130109,0,4799035.story?track=rss - I was thinking of a larger vessel than a ferry, but, I'm glad no one was killed.
16) I will lose another 7 pounds this year through diet and exercise.
17) I don't see the winter of 2013 having any major cold spells (25 or below for highs, 3 or more days in a row) or major snow storms over 6" each. We may have a problem with a storm that may bring ice along the Mid Atlantic. Had our first 20 degree cold spell this week, all around 25 or below. We'll see about the snow. UPDATE - not one storm all season with over 6" of snow as of 3/11/13.
18) The Mississippi will rise again, but it won't quite reach normal levels by year end.
1) I will lose another 10 pounds by the end of 2012 through exercise and diet. Okay, 5.5 lbs, but I'm happy and still trying.
2) Unemployment will lower to at least 8% by fall 2012. 7.9% in October, 7.7% in November

15) There will be a very well publicized tragedy at sea with a fairly large vessel.http://www.ctnow.com/news/sns-rt-us-usa-newyork-ferrybre9080o9-20130109,0,4799035.story?track=rss - I was thinking of a larger vessel than a ferry, but, I'm glad no one was killed.
16) I will lose another 7 pounds this year through diet and exercise.
17) I don't see the winter of 2013 having any major cold spells (25 or below for highs, 3 or more days in a row) or major snow storms over 6" each. We may have a problem with a storm that may bring ice along the Mid Atlantic. Had our first 20 degree cold spell this week, all around 25 or below. We'll see about the snow. UPDATE - not one storm all season with over 6" of snow as of 3/11/13.
18) The Mississippi will rise again, but it won't quite reach normal levels by year end.

2013 Predictions
Cyclenall wrote:I wanted to do the 2011 Predictions thing last year but ran out of time so here is a big one for 2012:
1. Fidel Castro will STILL not die this year (I was going to state this in the 2011 one) Yes
2. The Atlantic Hurricane season will have multiple major landfalling hurricanes on the US coastline Nope!
3. Another massive Tsunami will occur somewhere because of a 9.7M Earthquake, the strongest ever Big No
4. The winter in Canada will be very short, spring will start in early March and be one of the warmest ever Oh Yeah! This was my best prediction since the Micheal Jackson one of 2009. This is cut from my March update last year: "Confirmed, confirmed, confirmed. The winter was very short indeed (some think it will have a last stand in April but my gut feeling is it won't...thus giving climatology the finger like this March as done already) and Spring did start very early (more or less late February but with flux), March is certainly on track to being one of the warmest ever...that is certain. I'll have to wait until the end of Spring to completely verify." - I was right, for my exact location there was no snow accumulation after but I was so close to losing that one. March did end up the warmest ever and the Spring season as a whole basically.
5. Similar to 2011, weather worldwide will be cataclysmic and disastrous I think so, Yes
6. Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination for POTUS No
7. The Occupy movement will die down in the depths of winter but make a sudden and explosive return by mid-summer in more countries and cities worldwide I don't think so
8. The Arab Spring will continue with Syria continuing to explode into Civil War unless there is a no-fly zone put into place. The unprecedented movements will swell more into Iran, Algeria, Egypt, and Iraq Yes for the 1st, no for 2 and 3, Yes for 4, and not quite for 5
9. The stock market will recover more in the first half of 2012 but by the end, start to become extremely unstable Half Right
10. Oil prices will remain steady throughout the entire year between $70-$100 a barrel Yes
11. The outcome for the POTUS Election ends up in the courts No
12. Just as scientists predicted, massive solar flares will hit earth and cause huge effects on the world's infrastructure unlike anything that humans have observed No
13. There will be a video game crash by the end of 2012, PC gaming will be making a whirlwind comeback Sort of, this CNN article
14. Donald Trump will meet Obama and allegedly get into a huge argument with profanity included No, that would have been funny though
15. In music, the organ will make a comeback in modern music...violin will also continue to be on the slight upswing The organ is resurging in concert halls, 1/4th correct
16. TV viewing continues to dwindle as Internet usage continues to skyrocket, with TV networks becoming more desperate (NBC) Yep!
17. The highest grossing film of the year will be animated No
18. Only 1 record will be broken at the 2012 London Summer Olympics No
19. A revolution in laundry occurs when Whirlpool (the company) designs a washer and dryer in one machine instead of two I found out it was already invented a long time ago
20. The world will not end on December 21, 2012 but something huge WILL occur on this date (not by humans) Half right, nothing huge at all occurred to my surprise
At best, 10/20 right but more likely 5/20 right. Yikes, however the predictions were specific. I did as well as I thought I would
.Here are my 2013 predictions:
1. Fidel Castro will yet again not die this year either
2. Hugo Chavez will pass away in February
3. Kate Middleton's baby will be a boy
4. Lance Armstrong decides to join NASCAR
5. A wave of countries around the world approve Liberation Therapy for those suffering with MS
6. The Atlantic Hurricane season will be the worst ever for the US
7. The winter in NA will be cold until late February when a large warm-spell ends it. Spring will be above average (not as hot as last year's) with the giant warmth happening in early May this time.
8. Hottest summer ever recorded in Canada and the Great Lakes and 4th warmest for the US. It will be pretty dry again.
9. Next winter will be starting around mid-November and be average until the end
10. Weather worldwide will be disastrous and extreme like the last few years...emphasis on how warm the SST's become everywhere expect the Pacific.
11. Syria continuing to slip into the abyss with the Civil War becoming even more deadly...Bashar Al-Assad uses chemical weapons in April when his back is up against the wall. Over 130,000 die in just weeks and a no-fly zone is put into place with major air-strike activity from NATO. The current regime is just about annihilated by year's end.
12. Egypt and India become problems for the outside as protests and unrest continue

17. A Family Guy movie is announced at the end of the year

I was just a month off for Hugo Chavez passing away which happened yesterday. If it was just 6 days eariler I would have been correct. The Dow reached its record high for the 2nd time in a row today so 13 is a bust. It might be closer to 15,000 by September

There are reports coming out that say that chemical weapons are starting to be used during the last few days. On March 19, the gas used was described as having a "chlorine-like smell". Rebels alleged that a SCUD missile was used to deliver the agent. Here is one source: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/worl ... wanted=all
These reports aren't confirmed yet but my prediction for major chemical weapon use (that is confirmed) is just weeks away (April).

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE DID RETURN FOR THE LAST ONE!! I knew it!! All those articles and reports denying him of appearing on the last episode of the Office and I stuck to my belief that he would be there. Awesome "surprise" for one of the best TV shows ever. What a finale it was, amazing and probably Steve just appearing in that room with Dwight with a "That's what she said" joke was one of the best moments in television history!!
