Aw. Thanks for finding it.
What was the winter of 02/03 like?
I thought I heard a meep, meep, but as he had that caterpillar in his beak, it was hard to tell. Maybe his mother didn't teach him it is impolite to talk with your beak full.
Poor road runner, there don't seem to be any snakes around here--his favorite meal.
Come to think of it, Sozobe, it was the winter of 2002 and it was the year we had a HUGE ice storm sweep the south. We were without power for a week... Which was when we first discovered the supplies needed that Bear mentioned earlier on this thread - minus the KY. He appears to be the only one that thinks that is a survival item.
Maybe he was a boy scout in his youth. Always prepared for the necessities of life; after all, bears really know how to get down and cuddle.

You can check
www.wunderground.com to see the history for most places. I just checked my town for 2002-2003 and it was mild. One half day of snow for the entire winter.
Squinney, I had missed your link to the abuzz thread. That was unique and never to be duplicated. Sad...
I was listening in on a similar discussion when this one old boy pointed to a dachshund and said, "Short dog - long winter." We were speechless with awe.

Thank you Diane....squinney is trying to take the high road...but last time I looked it was in
her nightstand :wink:
That wooly worm thing may be a good predictor but I'm a little more scientific in my research. Yesterday I saw three cows and a couple of deer trying on cardigans and knit caps at Kohls.....now that tells me something......
Hmmm, remember the year when the moose fell in love with a cow? Really happened. That, plus a sudden need for new clothes, might be a weather changing event.
