Cool August compared to the last 20, my Hasta is already starting to yellow, and heating oil going up another 25% on CNBC.

According to my Grandfather, bushey tails on racoons and thick corn husks are a sign of harsh winters too.

Some say you can tell by the nuts from Oak/Hickory trees. BTW, they officially started falling from my trees this weekend. Time to break out the hardhat for any yard work!!

i agree but the mess in my driveway is just nuts. the squirles have never done anything like this before.

 

[WoodCore]

This might be the ultimate indicator!!!!!

I've never really looked into sunspots being predictors of weather...does anyone know where I can read more about that?

There's plenty of info out there. A few russian climatologists are predicting a cooling or mini ice age is more likely than global warming long term due to sun spot activity.

My nuts tend to shrink a bit when it starts.

A pal sent me a link to the latest Almanac prediction for this winter.

Granted, not all that scientific...but it makes for VERY exciting reading for this winter.

If you believe the almanac...colder and snowier than normal...a lot colder and snowier.

There is some historical evidence that the less sunspot activity the cooler the Earth is. I think right now there are no sunspots at all.

it would be really nice to have some significant snow in northern nj. i have a bunch of mini tours i would love to do on my splity. plus it would be fun to get out on the lake with the sleds.

Yeah, the 7" we got last winter was a little disappointing.

That's a good snowfall for the Dirty Jerz..

When colder weather is coming, some signs one can observe in nature is when a specific group of Homo sapiens called 'golfers' start giving the evil eye to another group(s) called 'skiers' or 'riders'. It is a vicious cycle that goes opposite in late spring with the approach of warmer weather.

actually northern jerz used to get some decent snowfall but that has gone the way of the dodo since the snowline has moved to right below the cats.
