Love Joe. Between him and the Wooly Bear Caterpillars, I keep on top of things. ;)

My plan? Go with the flow and keep the larder stocked.

I’d LIKE a snowy winter season. My Snowshoes haven’t been out in two years, now. :(

We have some rust-colored ones in my part of NC. Don’t touch them!

Normally they’re all over the place around here this time of year (SE WI) but I haven’t seen a single one, yet.

But the grasshoppers have all died, so I’m good with that. :)

Prepper ping - Get ready now for the unexpected emergency
"Winter is coming" and in the time of national insecurity,- and it's gunna be a Beeotch !

you need to prepare for TSHTF on winter weather
- be prepared to get snowed in for weeks at a time without power

metmom : "And the going without power is as likely as not going to be due to mismanagement as anything.
But you are correct. Now is the time to prepare. "

Now is almost beyond the time to prepare cheaply- but better late than never. Overcome NORMALCY BIAS !
These are not normal times
(No power)-Have three weeks of bottled water, pasta, beans, canned sauces, canned fruit, cooking oils, flour, rice,supplemental heat/cooking source, sterno, gasoline stored outside,
propane, heat candles, flashlights and batteries, dried fruit, granola and protein bars, personal hygiene, and needed presciptive medications, etc., etc.
Shop now for last years winter clothing closeouts, long johns, gloves, caps and hats, blankets, comforters, etc.
Winterize your house or apartment for drafts, escaping heat, insulate exterior windows, make homemade draft dodgers for doorways, electric blankets for cold bedrooms, etc.
Prepare as if you are expecting a catagory5 hurricane, with a slow utility recovery time- electric, heat, water, sanitary, travel, etc.

If you prepare for the worst, then you are ready for anything, even the worst.

And if the worst doesn’t happen, you have just sailed through whatever came your way with no effort or fears.

If you always predict a hard winter, eventually you will get it right.

The Jersey Shore was relatively mild most of the summer. A few hot spells.

Very little rain however. Very dry summer.

Not a very reliable source. But here is another Winter 2022/23 Snow Forecast: Here’s Your First Look at What Next Winter Might Hold… If they’re to be believed, it’s looking like an awesome winter for the east coast, a great winter for the midwest and intermountain west, average-to-slightly-above-average for the PNW, and average for California.

I've been getting the Farmer's Almanac for decades because I like the calendar and astronomy charts, their brain teasers, their cornpone articles and their arcane but mostly useful factoids.

But they SUCK at predicting weather! Here is an example of their predicting for month of November:

1-9 Rainy periods, cool, 10-18 Sunny, cool, 19-21 Rainy, mild, 22-28 Flurries north, sunny south, cold, 29-30 Rainy, mild.

It's so general and non-specific that they are going to be "right" much of the time. So if there are snow flurries the week of the 22-28, then they look like geniuses.

The Farmer's Almanac also has a hole-punch in the upper left-hand corner. The original purpose of this was to put string through it and hang it from a hook on the outhouse door so that people could read it while defecating.

Thank you, more information than I knew. I have no qualms with what they publish, that is freedom. It op up to us to decipher the truth.

The wooly worms I keep seeing are all blond. Some years they’re solid black. But in all the years I’ve kept track, there hasn’t been a correlation between wooly worm colors and weather.

I have, however, noticed certain behavior patterns with squirrels, birds, and certain plants, that correspond to winter weather. Squirrels get very desperate before an unusually cold winter, that sort of thing.

My expectation, and take this with a grain of salt, is that this will be a damp winter, with mostly moderate cold days, and a sprinkling of severely ones. I’m not seeing the kinds of animal behavior that normally happen before a rough winter, and I’m not seeing the kinds of plant behaviors that happen before a drought.

(These predictions are for south-central Wisconsin only. I have no idea what other areas will be like.)

Wool socks and wool blankets could save your life in a wintertime power outage. And it might be a good idea to map out where the water pipes are, and know how to drain them so they don’t freeze and break. Pipes along exterior walls will freeze first.
