mrags Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Buffalo News and some news channel I saw the other day said it's not going to be nearly as bad as last year. At least east of the Rockies. No link but I'm sore someone can post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 No snow this winter. Record cold no snow. I have a 50/50 chance of being right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm sorry but I'll wait for the annual JBoyst fuzzy caterpillar thread before I go out and buy any long johns or snow blowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Water temp is 5 degrees lower now than it has been the last decade @ this time. Now, even know in summer it was pretty much on mark with only a degree or two either way. If we get a cold snap, we are doomed. That said... The good thing, I haven't used my A/C in almost two months... Heat either. Keeping the house @ a nice 63 degrees naturally... Open windows and cool it down during the day... Then blouse them in for the night... I can dig this energy bill all year! I got all the family members nicely trained to love the high 50's and low 60's house temp... I don't dare heat!

boyst Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Yep, the acorns are deep and heavy here, the buckeyes, too. The 8 persimmon seeds I checked, 1 fork, 3 knives, 4 spoons. August was extremely foggy. The katydids sang early this year, so the frost will be early. The coyotes, foxes and dogs have been barking at the moon which tells me it will snow early this year. It did so last year, with the Thanksgiving snow storm. There are no squirrels around here this year because I shot most of them, but the few I have seen buried their nuts deep meaning cold winter. The Ironwood sinks quickly, meaning there is little water in the tree - meaning cold is coming. I am predicting a cold Fall rolling in to a wet early winter with some snow then turning mild after that, as snow begins to melt. January ends bitter cold with February still cold while snow falls at the end of the month in to March to give us some good snow. I'm sorry but I'll wait for the annual JBoyst fuzzy caterpillar thread before I go out and buy any long johns or snow blowers. Wooly worms. I haven't really seen them yet, like mysteriously seen very few. The ones I have are solid black. Edited October 20, 2014 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There damn well better be a lot of snow this winter. I just went out and spent $900 on a new snow blower. Shoveled my 40 foot driveway all last winter, and we had tons of snow here in Vermont. Can't wait to fire that baby up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
