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.
