Yup, gotta agree when in Wisconsin woolly bear's are a real good indicator! Nature knows best.

Also Horses take a long time to build a good winter coat to withstand Wisconsin winters. When my horses start growing their winter coat the beginning of September? Look out! :B

We have Farmer's Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac up here. One says a cold winter, one says a warm winter. I need to check out the wooly bear catepillars before I panic!

I live in Ohio and hope the robins are correct! I really, really love winter, being outside in the snow, using my snow wolf to clear the driveway and sidewalks, cross country skiing! I know I am in the minority but...Way To Go Robins!!!

Yup and the grocery stores all believed them! First time I've ever seen so much water on the shelves.

My grocery store has all the shelves filled with water, pallets of water in the aisle, pallets at the end of the aisle and in the deli dept, etc If there was an open space on the floor there were pallets of water.

They are still there............

I assume after mid-September, winter will arrive any day in Pennsylvania. :(

I'll be in Ensenada, Baja when it hits so...bring it on nature!!

Please send them back.
Tell them it's too early and that Bob in Calgary isn't ready for winter yet. I'm sure they will understand.
Thank you, I appreciate your help....
