👍 For those that don’t know.
The more Black (less brown) on the Woolly Bear caterpillars in fall means a longer, colder, snowy winter ahead

Weather patterns tend to flip , It’s been hot and dry so hopefully it flips a bit closer to Winter vs fall.
The weather guy I follow gave up on seasonal forecasting, he only goes out a month or two.
If you live in the East it’s like Lucy pulling the football at the last minute Lol.

Hey but there’s still a chance….maybe we’ll luck out this year!

This is old school; in my world this is known as the albino effect. The darker the color the move heat / light waves are picked up. Thus, the moose should have told you at the front gate. My last puppy was tricolor. It was amazing how much the white and black deafferented in heat, one could feel it.

In other words, wax blue and sharpen often.

From the above article:
  • Woolly bears do not actually feel much like wool—they are covered with short, stiff bristles of hair. This reminds me of my third wife. it not as it appears, and it will turn on you. So, there's that.

This is what they don't tell you.

and the drenching noVT just got surely relieved some drought and snowmaking pond issues.

Nothing unusual on the top of Mt. Washington. It looks about right to me.

One of the best video explanations of what drives and affects our winters most the time lol

8 weeks or less somewhere in VT there should be riding and Killington will be full throttle readying for the Women's world cup with snow a-plenty :)
