Superstitions??

[Whitespider]

Been hearing the locust for over a week now. Some of the smaller Cherry trees have already turned and dropped their leaves. The squirrels appear purposely busy already. The corn husks are a bit thick this year. Frogs are showing up in the yard.
The old farmers are claiming an early frost, fall and hard winter.
I might just start movin' some of the firewood in the house this month... could be lightin' up in early September.

All in all it's been a cool summer here in NW Ohio. Our nights are already cooling into the 50's.

 

[greendohn]

Yep, been pleasantly cool here, lately. Woodshed is near empty but fishing has been great this summer!

I welcome an early cold winter! Bring it on.

 

[Ronaldo]

I'm ready for some cool weather, not winter yet, but cooler would be good.

Yup, it's been a cool one...

I noticed cool nights for August here in NJ and I said we may have an early colder winter.

I have also noticed the cherry trees dropping leaves out this way, and the acorns are falling already too. Apples seem to be getting red early, strawberries and blueberries were late.

We could use a cold long winter to kill all these damn bugs!

 

[stumpy75]

In my area, we've had tough winters the last two years. I'm hoping for something a little milder this year... And those tough winters didn't help the bugs at all. We've also had wet summers, especially this year, and the mosquitoes have been around in large swarms.

I predict we will have Winter this year......probably right after Fall.

How dare you utter the S-Word in a public forum. Have you no decency, sir? Yea, the wood is already in but please don't tell Mother Nature. Summer is short enough.

Last week had me thinking also. It felt like September.

But temps this week are back in the 80s so back on schedule.

The cicadas are driving me nuts. Can't tell if it's them or ringing in my ears.

We had a fairly long and slightly tough winter last year. I'm figgerin' this year isn't going to be any better.

 

[Oldman47]

No cicadas here yet. Some years they are deafening but nothing so far. It is still a bit early though.

 

[kz1000]

Things are off a little here also, I can't quite put my finger on it but have noticed less illegals in the emergency rooms and Walmart. It leads me to believe that temperatures are indeed dropping and several are already heading south.

 

[cigmaker]

Yeah they are here early and in force.
