We get enough nutty weather forecasts here from the Met Office as it is............. ;-)

Other than that the only thing I have noticed this year in abundance compared to other years is the number of chipmunks! Many more holes in the ground and I can't keep them out of my veggie garden.
A better weather predictor for us is to notice the thickness of our horse's coats....esp my quarter horse. If she's more "wooly" than usual come December we can count on some colder than normal weather. May just be coincidence but seems to be just as accurate as NOAA

Walking thru the yard was risky business after they all fell down...the ground was so hard from the late summer drought, and all the acorns made it like marbles on granite. I'll have to pay attention to what they do this year...but last year was the most I can ever remember...truly an exceptional year.

Interesting that rdust had so many acorns last year and I know of others the same but here we had very few. The weather does not vary a whole lot between his place and ours so out the door goes the nut theory.
Also, last year we had very few apples. This year will be a bumper crop. Theory has it there will be a glut of cider this fall.
