My grandfather used to swear by those, but I don't remember what he said.

Never heard if called that before, I always heard wooly worm.

In NYC it's a Woolley Bear, so it must be right, do we need @turdferguson to start a thread?

He is addicted to IC Light.

I look it up before I was going to make fun of you, and the Farmers Almanac had it labeled wooly bear, so I erased what I was going to post. I thought we just had another cowcapade.

Only by a maroon.

Don't encourage that boy.

My grandfather used to swear by those, but I don't remember what he said.

Did he need to be standing by one, or could it just be in the general vicinity?

 

[upschuck]

High praise coming from you.

 

[oldngray]

Good eatin?

A favorite of Bear Gryllis.

And when my grandmother wasn't around. LOL. That's when he dug beer out of his hidden fridge in the garage too.

Do Woolly Bear Caterpillars Forecast Winter Weather?

According to legend, the wider that middle brown section is (i.e., the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter. But is it true?

• Between 1948 and 1956, Dr. Curran's average brown-segment counts ranged from 5.3 to 5.6 out of the 13-segment total, meaning that the brown band took up more than a third of the woolly bear's body. As those relatively high numbers suggested, the corresponding winters were milder than average.
• But Curran was under no scientific illusion: He knew that his data samples were small. Although the experiments popularized and, to some people, legitimized folklore, they were simply an excuse for having fun. Curran, his wife, and their group of friends escaped the city to see the foliage each fall, calling themselves The Original Society of the Friends of the Woolly Bear.
• Thirty years after the last meeting of Curran's society, the woolly bear brown-segment counts and winter forecasts were resurrected by the nature museum at Bear Mountain State Park. The annual counts have continued, more or less tongue in cheek, since then.
• For the past 10 years, Banner Elk, North Carolina, has held an annual "Woolly Worm Festival" each October, highlighted by a caterpillar race. Retired mayor Charles Von Canon inspects the champion woolly bear and announces his winter forecast.

I thought your grandfather was a bit strange, I read bear, instead of beer.
