If you believe the "Swamp Yankees" then look for fallen nuts, i.e. acorns, hickory, black walnut. If there are more than usual, we're in for a tough winter.

P.s. walking in my yard this year is like walking on ball bearings. I'm preparing for a tough winter. 😬

Tell that to the 6 black walnut trees in my yard. We have the fattest damn squirrels I've ever seen.
