This eHow will teach you how to predict future winter weather accurately every year.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Time
  • Patience
  • Your eyes
  1. Step 1

    Every year the meteorologists and scientists with other long convoluted extensively garbled sounding names come forth to predict the coming winter weather. If you're watching the 6 o'clock news they tell your to tune in at 11. If it's the 11 pm news they tell you to tune in at 9 am the next day. I'm not going to do that. You're here now/

  2. Step 2

    During late summer or fall go to a woody area near your home. a local park or woods is good..

  3. Step 3

    Check the ground and trees for a woolly Caterpillar, get one.
    At this time of the year caterpillars' wool is alternate bands of dark brown or black and light tan to dark orange.

  4. Step 4

    Look at the rings. If the rings are light; it will be a moderate winter.
    If they are dark tan and dark brown; It will be cold. If they are semi-dark to black; winter will be very cold. And if there are no rings and the caterpillar is all black; be prepared for a very severe winter.

  5. Step 5

    The caterpillar pictured was seen in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania on August 8, 2009.

Tips & Warnings
  • This knowledge was passed down generation to generation within our family and it has never failed.
