Signs of a bad winter?

[A. F Medic]

Had our first frost up here in NW Pa. My black walnut trees are so heavy with nuts that the boughs are bending down! Never saw that before.

Loads of acorns in the woods. Wolly bear catepillars main stripe is dark brown and very wide. My Grandmother always said that indicated a severe winter.

Farmer's Almanac says that we are going to get hit.

Shhhh,, Don't tell the nut jobs down here in the SE, they'll clear out the stores of milk,bread,butter.
Being stuck in the house for a day or two ain't bad though...

If you are in SE PA come to the real SE and see some Katrina style run on stores at the first mention of snow.

Do hope you are wrong however it would be OK if it was localized to your area and let the area I live in to have a normal winter.

I saw it once, I was in Charlotte NC training some guys a few years back and they had something like 2" of snow, a coating really,,half of them called out... I had to laugh...

THe problem here is the lake effect snow that comes off of Lake Erie when the lake is not frozen. Then we get feet not inches! Same thing happens to Buffalo NY.

Have a friend whose daughter lived in Buffalo, many years ago she walking down the street during huge a snow storm, tripped and realized what tripped her was a street sign, snow had drifter over 7 feet deep.
