If the storms in September clear off warm, all the storms of the following winter will be warm.
October.
Much rain in October, much wind in December.
If October brings heavy frosts and winds, then will January and February be mild.
When it freezes and snows in October, January will bring mild weather; but if it is thundering and heat-lightning, the winter will resemble April in temper.
Warm October, cold February.
As the weather in October, so will it be in the next March.
If the first snow falls on moist, soft earth, it indicates a small harvest; but if upon hard, frozen soil, a good harvest.
A good October and a good blast,
So blow the hog-acorn and the mast.
