I always follow the Old Farmers predics....for fun. Neither one is ever right half the time. I've got every year of both going back 21 years, my little collection. I'll follow the squirrels and how many nuts they are packing away, how active the bees are, how many spiders are out and about, when the geese head north, how wide are the bands on the wooly-bear caterpillar, how many fogs in August, how thick onion skins are, and how many holes there are in my Winter socks.
Ok so that last thing. I would bet the more holes you have the colder it is going to be. Am I right?
This last years prediction ...how did it fair in your areahttps://www.almanac.com/winter-extended-forecast-farmers-almanac
I’m hoping for a “normal“ winter this year so we can be on the ice mid November! Last year the weather was all over the place, from very cold to unseasonably warm, contrary to what the “expert’s” had to say!That’s why I’ve learned to rely on my Weather Rock. It’s a rock on a cord hanging outside. If it’s hot, it’s hot. If it’s cold, it’s cold. If it’s not moving, it’s calm. If it’s moving, it’s windy. If it’s raining, it’s wet. If it’s snowing it’s white. It’s NEVER been wrong!
They don't know what's going on 3 days out let alone this January...
Regardless, I’m excited for the upcoming season!Today I tinkered with some ice gear..Looking forward to it.
