The "old time" predictors in my area of New York -watch the Wooley-Bear caterpillars for the ratio of their color bars, and how early little animals start stashing their food, etc. Also how the fur looks on the local coons, muskrats, beaver,etc. I don't know if any of them have ever been right - and I don't buy the Farmer's Almanac. But, that being said - we've got Wooley-Bears all over the place that are almost all orange and no black - which I've never seen before. And - the mice, chipmunks, and flying squirrels have been going nuts stashing food - including the walls of our house - and various places in my trucks. I went to use my Ford diesel a few days ago - and once started - it barely ran and smoked like crazy. I pulled the air-cleaner off and it was packed tight with mouse-nests.
And, this is the time of year when there are dead road-kill coons anywhere there is corn being chopped. There seems to be an endless supply. Years ago - when a good coon brought $40-$50 - you'd never see one dead on the road. But now? They all over the place, the fur looks prime for this early in the year.
