Sorry Tux. I never come to this board. I was hoping on getting through this winter w/o feeding.

I'm going with the Old Farmer's Almanac and our barn swallows and preparing for a nasty winter.

We will see how Farmer's Almanac fares against NOAA this winter.

Last 2 years, NOAA was way off base for my state.
Looks like they are hedging their bets this year, giving most of the country a 50/50 chance of being "normal" or equal chances of being colder or wetter than "normal". In other words, all that $$$$$ they spend and they don't have a clue.
You have to click on the 3 month period you are interested in: Oct/Nov/Dec---Jan/Feb/Mar etc

How can you tell from barn swallows??

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

I observed they left in August this year for their roosts in the Southern Hemisphere vs. leaving in late September like most years. I took it as a sign of an early and/or unusually cold winter.
