Attack of the Acorns! What Does It Mean?

I live in Rock Hill, SC. I have never heard acorns fall like they fell tonight. Sounded like I was being attacked by acorns ‼️?

I live in Central West Florida in a Mobile Home Park. Acorns bouncing off roofs and lanai’s has been abnormally high and for a longer period than usual and the acorns are green.

I live in South Central Arkansas and we had hardly any acorns this year. They were basically all gone before the end of October. (Very small too) Last year there were tons of acorns with very mild winter. Colder this year.

Even in near tropical Central Texas a heavy Acorn fall portends a severe winter. Haven’t seen it fail in 64 yrs!

Just finished raking up 100 kilos of them. Very unusual for us Apopkans.

Tons of acorns here in NE Kentucky!

here in Winthrop ( Maine), we’ve been pelted daily, and my cat, Cinnamon, has been sneaking them in, then batting them all over the house. Still haven’t seen a wooly-worm this year!

Just moved to the Sierra foothills and it is raining acorns! A neighbor composed a song “Acorns keep falling on my roof” in response. Unfortunately they are toxic to horses and one of my horses had a mild acorn colic, so my new occupation is taking up acorns before the horses get to them. It’s a living…

Tons and tons of acorns since mid-August in Fuquay-Varina, NC and our Oak is still full of them. What could top 2020… a nice blizzard or two and a half dozen ice storms :-O

All of our acorns started falling 2 months ago and still not done! 13 acres of nothing but oak trees. It was dangerous walking outside, even if just to the truck. Not sure what it means as far as winter goes, but we’ll find out.
Clinton, Missouri

Buckets and buckets in Pittsburgg. You had to run to your car to avoid being hit. And that didnt always
Work!

In northeast Texas, huge amounts of acorns. thought they put a dent in my car, they are hitting so hard. But I do not think it means hard winter for us.

Middle NC here and I swear Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor during the night. There has been some relief finally but now the dreaded leaf cleanup. I love/hate these oak trees. So the fear of a harsh winter coming has hurried me but guys….apparently its the next summer we should worry about.

I live in Northern California. As in the past wet year’s. There is a very large crop of acorn’s. Ive been telling friends for year’s about the large crop of acorn’s. And when we have a wet winter that they are forecasting for us this year. We have a ton of acorn’s on the ground. Seems pretty real to me

Last year we were buried in acorns we had a moderate winter with some snow but not crazy. This year 2020 nov we have almost NO acorns at all. sorry I am in north central NJ

I live in central NC and the acorns are crazy here this year! It really does feel hazardous to work in my wooded backyard. This may be the year I make acorn flour because my yard is just a layer of acorns.

Knoxville Tennessee is crazy too! My mother in law of 74 says she’s never, in all her years, seen so many acorns! I can sit out in my porch at 3am, when nothing at all is going on, and all you can hear is acorns dropping to the ground. If this is a sign of bad winter weather coming, well then… it’s gonna be a bad one!!! Acorns EVERYWHERE!!!

Tons of acorns in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California. There are more than I have seen in the 15 years I have lived here and they are black in color which is also an oddity.

I am in North Carolina and they started in September and it is like a carpet of acorns. You had to be careful not to get hit in the head, lol. I have had friends say you know that means a harsh winter. But funny thing is the weather man just said we are in for a mild winter….hi guess we will see who is right!

Northern California has so many falling you need a hard hat to work outside.
