A poem for this week

[drwex]

Feathered arrows fly
Purposeful geese of autumn
Past my window, south

(Yes, I know it's technically not autumn. Someone should tell that to the birds. According to the Farmer's Almanac and all the signs of nature this is going to be an early and colder winter with above-average snowfall. The geese are going early, the caterpillars are exceptionally fuzzy, and August has been bone dry. Let's see how these heralds compare to climate change. The National Weather Service is predicting a mild and light winter.)

As a life-long New England yankee, I put more stock in the Old Farmer's Almanac than I do in the National Weather Service for seasonal forecasts.

(For the next week's weather, the National Weather Service tends to be more explicit and more accurate.)

Agreed. That's why when I saw the two diverge I went to check the various signs.
