My supply has taken a massive hit this season... massive‼
So I was searchin' around for ways to predict what I needed for next year and came across this.
Makes perfect sense to me...
One late fall some Indians on the Northern Plains asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a chief in a modern society he'd never learned the old ways. So... he faked it... looked at the sky, the trees, pointed out how the animals were workin' hard at preparing, and declared it was indeed going to be a cold winter and that the members of the tribe should collect more firewood.
Not wanting to look bad to the tribe, the next day he hiked up to the trading post, called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”
“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,” the meteorologist responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?”
“Yes,” the meteorologist responded, “it’s going to be a very cold winter.”
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again, “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?”
“Absolutely,” the man replied. “It’s looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever seen.”
Now this chief was thinking maybe he could learn something, so next year he could be a bit more specific with his people.
“How in hell can you be so damn sure?” he asked.
The weatherman replied, “Well... ya' see... we've been watchin' the Indians, and they're collecting a $h!tload of firewood.”
Yeah, I know... this ain't the jokes forum... but it is about firewood

I think we all know why that is.
