The woolly worm festival is this weekend in the mountains here in NC. Soon we will know the winter forecast. lol.

There's a bunch of winter folklore. What have y'all heard?

I know about the forecasting by using the bands on a woolly worm, forecasting from persimmon seeds, depending on the amount of acorns dropped from trees will how bad the winter will be, and the number of times you had fog in august is the amount of times you're going to get snow.

I love weather and it's amazing how people in the old days used to correlate things.

I really want to go to the woolly worm festival. They race them and the winner is the one they use to forecast with. LMAO. It's 2 hrs away though and my car won't make it.
