For those of us who must endure the hodge-podge of weather here in NE OH and have come to depend upon and trust the weather guru, Dick Goddard, you'll love his book. Chock full of valuable month-by-month info and stats, as well as loads of interesting weather stories from our area and from around the world. Also contains lots of amusing cartoons by Goddard himself. If you are interested in the weather, you'll be sure and find something of interest in Dick's book. Enjoyable and informative reading.

This book is really excellent. I have my own book and just ordered one for my sister. There is so much history in this book, plus so many other interesting facts and figures that it has to be a must for any weather buff. If anyone wants to watch a good TV meteorologist and you are out of the TV8 viewing area, come up to N.E.Ohio and tune into Fox8 and watch him. He is truely the best.

Let's face it! Northeast Ohio weather sucks! Earthquakes? Yeah, we've had them! Floods? Them, too! Hurricanes? Yep, really! And tornados and sunless months that rival Seattle's and of course, lake-effect anythings... BUT...! NOW we have Dick Goddard's Almanac! So while it may be in the 100s or in the minus 20s out there, we can seek comfort that Dick Goddard has said once, not too long ago, it really was a lot worse! What a marvelous work Goddard's given us! It's a true gem in the crown of NE Ohio's premier weatherman! The rest of the world? Suffer your pestilences without clues! We've got The Word from Goddard to guide us through them!

I can only echo the support of the other reviewers. As a former Ohio resident, I grew up with Dick's insightful forecasts. Now every time I return for a visit, I always tune in to channel 8 to catch Goddard. This last visit, I happened upon this book and find it filled with useful information, history, and trivia - even great cartooning! Even if you don't live in NE Ohio, you will learn something from this great publication.
