This is just for fun, The woolly bear is black on both ends and an orange/brown stripe in the middle. The following is taken from The Farmers Almanac The woolly bear caterpillar tells if it is a bad winter if there are a lot of them crawling around, if he has a heavy coat and if the black band on his back is wide. The more black than brown he is or the wider the black stripe, the worse the winter. A narrow orange band in the middle of the caterpillar warns of heavy snow. If this guy is fat and fuzzy, it means presage bitter cold. If you want to be your own weather forecaster, here are 10 signs of a rough winter: * Very thick onion skins or corn husks. * Woodpeckers sharing a tree * Early arrival of crickets on the hearth * Spiders spinning larger webs * Lots and lots of acorns * Raccoons have thick tails * Squirrels gather nuts early in the year * Pigs gather sticks * Frequent halos around the sun or moon * Heavy and numerous fogs in August
