It is gonna be a cold winter.

[Danke]

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 shitload 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.....

 

[oyarde]

Now , can you please explain , Danke , to these white peoples , that Daylight Saving Time , does not make the sun shine longer in the day ? I will buy you a beer once they have consensus they are fools.LOL

 

[oyarde]

Being new Sachem would be rough ,I would suggest talking to Old Sagamore of 25 yr minimum first to see if the job sounds good , LOL

Since you should have time off in the Great White North this winter Danke , if you travel directly west , I could use a few extra , straight , wild rose clippings to use as arrow shafts for my new arrow points , you know , just in case I run out of ammo , LOL

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.

Only saw one this year and it was all rust, NE Ohio area. Must be all the rest of the woollies are hibernating from the coming cold and not only did this one get his coat wrong, poor thing is gonna freeze to death.

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.

Couldn't you have told me that a few weeks earlier ? I remember seeing one but I don't remember what color it was, lol.

I think that joke is older than Oyarde.

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.
