The wider the rusty brown sections (or the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. The more black there is, the more severe the winter.
Not sure , they are predicting for the southern snow belt (which I live in) for a larger than normal snowy winter. If you believe that precipitation averages rule,than we have reached our yearly accumulation already, meaning that the snow won't start till after January.......we have not had a hard cold winter for the last 2 years so maybe we are due? I'm more of a wake up and look outside kinda person rather than try and guess/plan what will happen. I do like winter so I hope we have more of a traditional one vs the freeze, thaw , freeze, thaw, that's happened the last 2 years. I don't enjoy mud.The one I saw was all brown
So what kind of winter is Ontario to have?
uhm, cold and snowy seems to be the right answer - always?The one I saw was all brown

I think that little guy is the one that "stings" if it gets on your skin?Found one like this today It is called a
Hickory tussock moth

Yes, and that really applies to any fuzzy caterpillar. I just avoid touching them, my chickens won't eat them either.I think that little guy is the one that "stings" if it gets on your skin?

As much as I detest ice (and driving in it!) I sure wish we'd have a good long freeze to kill a few ticks...they've been
multiplying out of control for several years.
I'd take -10F for 2 weeks if it would kill those buggers! There are so many in our area I'm very certain they huddleI think it has to be below 10 F for a couple of days to make that happen. Ticks are hardy animals...
btw, congrats on your first grandchild! Let the spoiling beginI'd take -10F for 2 weeks if it would kill those buggers! There are so many in our area I'm very certain they huddle
together for warmth!
