The fruit trees and such have been prolific this year. My Dad thinks this may be an indicator of a long hard winter. I know that I've had to buy more canning jars this year to keep up with the extra.

Snow predicted to fall at Mt. Hood tomorrow (?)...early
again. Good for the ski season again if they can accumulate a good base by Thanksgiving, and it's been way below the "normal" temperature for this time of the year. Right now, at 8:55 PM PST, temp is 55 and since it's been raining...it's that damp cold! :cry:

The upcoming winter looks to be cold to very cold for the Northern Plains, parts of the Northern Rockies, and the western Great Lakes. In contrast, above-normal temperatures are expected across most of the southern and eastern U.S. Near-normal temperatures are expected in the Midwest and Far West, and in southern
Florida.
A very active storm track will bring much heavier-than-normal precipitation from the Southern Plains through Tennessee into Ohio, the Great Lakes, and the Northeast. Because of above normal temperatures, much of the precipitation will likely be rain or mixed precipitation, although, during February, some potent East Coast storms could leave heavy snow, albeit of a wet and slushy consistency.
An active Pacific Storm track will guide storm systems into the Pacific Northwest, giving it a wetter-than-normal winter.
Drier-than-normal weather will occur in the Southwest and Southeast corners of the nation.

For Wooly worms to predict winter (I`m told) is to see thousands of them. I`ve seen only yellow by the house, Half brown ans half black in the yard, and all black in the garden.
I do remember seeing thousands of a black on the road one year and it was a very bad winter. Early winter hair on the animals is a sign of cold winter, mine don`t have any yet. One of my rabbits has a line of long hair just along his back like a mohawk hair cut.All I know for sure is it was 80 degrees here in mid Wisconsin today and that`s a miracle! God willing we will all make it through another winter.
