Thread: It is gonna be a cold winter.

  1. #1

    It is gonna be a cold winter.

    This fall the Indians on a remote reservation asked their new Chief Oyarde if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

    Since he was a chief in a modern society, he’d never learned the old tribal secrets. He couldn’t look at the sky to predict what the winter was going to be like.

    "It's going to be a very cold winter."

    So just to be on the safe side, Oyarde told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

    But after several days, Oyarde had an idea. He went to the reservation’s phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, “Will it be cold this winter?”

    “Oh, yes,” the meteorologist at the Weather Service replied, “It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold.”

    So the Chief Oyarde went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

    A week later, Oyarde called the National Weather Service again. “Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?”

    “Yes,” the meteorologist again replied, “It’s going to be a very cold.”

    The Chief Oyarde again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

    Two weeks later, Oyarde called the National Weather Service again. “Are you sure it’s going to be very cold winter?”

    “Absolutely,” the man replied. “It’s looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever seen.”

    “How can you be so sure?” the Chief Oyarde asked.

    “Simple,” the weatherman replied, “The Indians are collecting a $#@!load of firewood.”

    While humorous , this is not true , I do not call the gubmit , I just collect firewood , the Squaw , though is persistent and reads things , like persimmons , wooly worms , the Almanac and tells me , I need to get busy , I do not though share this disinformation with the tribe as not to alarm them . This all seemed fairly wise until last winter , which felt as though I was in International Falls , even though I knew I was not. Thus , as you can see Danke , it is a difficult job , at best to be , Son Of a Sagamore of The Wabash , Venerated War Chief, Great Sachem and visionary.....

    I have some longbow arrows (6oz w/ bodkin AP-arrowheads) with shafts made out of hickory and hazelnut, both pretty straight growing trees that are excellent for making arrows.. These arrows are made for a 120lb draw weight English warbow, quite a b*tch to draw but thats a lot of energy to put into a relatively heavy arrow. This is the way to have fun with bows, or to disfigure your shoulders after years of doing so.. Like I said, fun.

    I feel we get a cold winter here, because I have some outdoor construction going on.. Things like that always provoke mother nature. Normally we have a few days of snow here in February or so.. This year we'll probably have snow from December to March, my kind of luck lol. I do like snow but my cement doesn't.

    Go Forward With Courage

    When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
    when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
    So long as mists envelop you, be still;
    be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
    -- as it surely will.
    Then act with courage.

    El Niño vs La Niña makes for strange weather patterns. Before, y'all had it cold while we seemed to skip winter altogether. This year it may be that y'all will have a mild winter while we get blitzed.

    The vernacular goes that the more orange on the wooly worm, the milder your winter will be.

    37th Annual Woolly Worm Festival

    OCTOBER 18th AND 19th, 2014

    Downtown Banner Elk, North Carolina

    Back in the late 1970s, the editor of the now-defunct Mountain Living Magazine, Jim Morton, was preparing to include a Woolly Worm Forecast in the winter issue of the magazine. He photographed the first Woolly Worm he saw to use in formulating the prediction and illustrating his story, but the next day he saw a second worm that looked completely different from the!

    “That’s when it struck me that we needed some formal procedure to use to decide which was going to be the official worm for making the winter forecast,” said Morton.

    The Woolly Worm races begin around 9:30 a.m. Each heat consists of 25 worms and races continue all day until the grand final around 4 p.m. The winning worm on Saturday is declared the official winter forecasting agent. The Sunday worm races are for prestige, fun and small prizes.

    Kings have no gold , unless they have taken it from others . I am king here and I earned it all .Easy to be king here , buy a little land , arm yourself , and let all others know you will defend it to the death and that there will be others who will do the same on that event , LOL

    Oyarde, we will meet one day. It may not be on this plane, but it will happen, and when it does, all the gold and trinkets in the world will be but a laugh to us.

    Wooly worm races , I expected as much , I cannot let the Mrs know of such , or while picking persimmons , she would think she had the winning wooly worm and torture me by making me go while complaining that I was not gathering firewood .

    I'm hoping for a very cold winter. Sooner the better. Can't wait to be skiing again.

    If it does turn out to be a cold winter, what kind of stove will you be using to heat your place ?

    Lol , I have seen lots of snow in winters that did not seem so bad , it is the Temp,'s that bother me , I mean , hell , at my age , anything in the teens or below pretty well sucks , especially if there is any wind .

  33. #29
    When will this "winter" start. I look forward to it. I'm tired of sweating my ass off in October.

    The colder the winter around here the better. A harsh winter cuts down on the ticks and chiggers and such.
