Still Waters Posted November 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Squirrels are hoarding nuts, the blackbirds are gobbling up berries and wild geese are arriving far earlier than usual — all signs, many people think, that this coming winter will be a cold and snowy one.But are wild creatures really able to forecast the weather? And if so, could they be more reliable than the brains and super-computers of the Met Office? Using wildlife to forecast the weather has a long history.

glorybebe Posted November 19, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2011 HHMMM..interesting how the Native North Americans have watched the animals and how they act to predict how the seasons and whether they are going to be harsh or mild. It's quite funny how many times scientists have these insights that the people have known for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thing we have lost over our greed of material possessions and shiny things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian Bâthory Posted November 28, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Wild Ducks and wild Goose Hunters out here in south québec were mad recently because these birds were still out North at the beginning of the hunting season, specialist said that the weather would probably remain warm for awhile, thats why they were still up North, so i guess they predicted that we would stll have temp of +10 celsius as of today 27 of November, wich normally should be about -5 celsius.
