MY WEATHER PREDICTOR HAS BEEN SHOT DOWN!

JAMIE KRUPKA OF THE OUTDOOR DISCOVERY CENTER, INDICATED IN TUESDAYS SENTINEL THAT THE WOOLY WORM STRIPES ARE NOT A GUIDE FOR WINTER WEATHER, JUST AN INDICATION OF THE AGE OF THE WORM.  THIS AFTER ALL THE YEARS OF HUNTING UNDER BOARDS, IN THE WOODS AND ELSEWHERE FOR ONE OF THE PROGNOSTICATING CRITTERS.  

BACK TO THE WEATHER DRAWING BOARD.  I WILL HAVE TO DEPEND ON MY GRANDFATHER'S VARIED OBSERVATIONS FOR WEATHER KNOWLEDGE.  HE SAID A HOT SUMMER MEANS A COLD WINTER.  WE SHALL SEE IF HE WAS RIGHT.

I STILL LIKE WOOLY WORMS.
