I live in Northwest Alabama and yesterday I saw a Wooly Bear, he was very fat and fuzzy but the orange stripe was long.

Peter, that looks just like the ones I’ve been seeing. I think that we’ll see a cold start, followed by relatively mild conditions in the middle of winter, then things will pick back up towards the end, with possibly a cold spring.

I live in Lynchburg, Virginia and I havent seen any of the wooly bears but the acorns are SO bad here that i almost slipped down my own backyard over a pile of acorns in my yard that literally pile up 2-3 inches deep. I go outside and I hear a BANG BANG BANG!! because acorns are constantly falling. We recorded our first frost about a week ago so its definitely fall but thats normal, we will get our first frost alot of times the latter half of October to the first part of November. I will send you guys some pictures of the acorns and the foliage. I dont have facebook or twitter anymore, what are some other ways I can send those in?

I don’t know…..but we just noticed one with the orange stripe yesterday, hanging on the screen. He wasn’t fat though, as a matter of fact, he was too skinny! And Wendy; WHITE ones? They must be pretty!

I have not seen a woolly bear caterpillar in a long time! The National Weather Service also predicted a colder, snowier winter for us in the upper Midwest/Great Lakes area. I need to buy the Almanac to see what it says for us…
