It just started snowing! If we get the same kind of crap we did last year I am for sure moving.
Here is a video of a guy skiing on the south hill here which is not ski resort!
I am SO jealous of people getting snow! I wish Atlanta would get *just one* more massive snow dumpage like we did in the blizzard of March 1993 (got a foot plus in some areas).
Enjoy your snow!
we have had bad spider problem this fall, and we have had a few halos around the moon!I noticed A LOT of acorns this fall.
Can Acorns Predict a Rough Winter?
While many of us in the 21st century may think weather lore is more whimsical than wise, it's hard to discount all of these "natural forecasters," especially when most of them are based on years of observation.
The challenge becomes in the handing down of the weather wisdom. Remember the game of telephone? One person would whisper something into the next persons ear and so on down the line, and when the last person has to repeat what the original whisper was, its most often not anything like the original statement. Well the same goes for many of these weather sayings. Theyve been handed down from generation to generation, so perhaps in some of the handing down, some of the lore has been altered slightly. But some have remained the same and often times prove to be quite accurate.
The following are some Natural Signs of a Rough Winter that weve collected over the years. Check them out and let us know if you have witnessed any of these signs or have additional weather wisdom we should add to the list.
* Very thick onion skins or corn husks
* Woodpeckers sharing a tree
* Early arrival of crickets on the hearth
* Spiders spinning larger than usual webs
* Lots of acorns
* A small rust/orange band on a wooly worm caterpillar
* Trees are laden with green leaves late in the fall.
* Hickory nuts having heavy shells.
* Tree bark is heaviest on the north side of the tree.
* Crickets are in the chimney.
* Hoot owls call late into the fall.
* Raccoons have thick tails and bright bands
* Squirrels gathering nuts early in the year
* Pigs gathering sticks
* Frequent halos/rings around the sun or moon
Heavy and numerous fogs in August

It's going to be one freezing ass winter this year, I would not doubt our whole states gets covered this time around ... even Downtown Seattle will likely get a lot. Damn, and I was hoping for some global warming to rub off on us.

don't say that, we always get it ten times worse than you guys.
Last year we had mostly ice ... the snow melted and refroze too quickly to stay fluffy. Huge mess ... this year they're planning on it getting worse.
