First Frost

[Aging Baby Boomer]

The flocks of blackbirds told me that first frost (in the Pee Dee) will be November 10th.

Anybody on here got a different date based on your family folklore (hairy caterpillars, August fogs, full moons and such)?

Blackbirds. They are smarter than you think.

As a kid in the 60's and 70's I remember watching and shooting at with my BB gun, the seemingly never ending streams of black birds flying south in the afternoons. Haven't seen anything like that since.

Already had a frost on the Mountain... Leaf color is 100% right now for any of you who like to drive up and see the color.

You don't see blackbirds like you used to because they are all on the peanut fields. Twenty two and one half billion leave Manchester every morning and fly over the Blind, on their way to Calhoun County. We gave up on planting wheat. Can't be done. They wipe us out.

What I don't see anymore that I used to is the huge crow migration we used to have. Anyone else remember those hour long strings of high flying crows we used to see?

Had snow geese come over me in Texas last week flying south.

Gonna be a damn cold winter, thats for sure. Ive already seen a few small flocks of penguins headed south.

The blackbirds lied to me! First frost was October 29th / 30th, eleven days too early. Does this portend an early, harsh winter?

Lots of acorns on the ground early, definitively going to be a cold winter.

It was 31 on Sunday. I better get my son to guard my turnips and rape from those pesky deer.
