Have always seen a big difference in wooly bear colors in the same year, Anyone who claims they know what winter is going to be like by wooly bears must be reading the Farmers Almanac, they're usually wrong too... grin

Collect a few hundred Wolly Bears and take an average and you might hit what you want. Farmers Almanac is like the lottery, pick your number stay on it and someday you might win

My wife says we have a lot of acorns so a bad winter is ahead. I say the spring weather was favorable for tassel pollination. Who is correct?

I think the wider the black stripe the older the caterpillar- so if they're older they must have better meteorological skills... going to be a bad winter grin

What? Anyone knows you can't predict the weather with caterpillars or the Farmer's Almanac. You need persimmon seeds to predict the weather!
