woolly bear near Lime Springs IA 854A3439

I've been waiting to the bitter end to see how the woolly bears would predict the coming winter. I was elated to see that this tried and true nature forecaster is predicting a nice mild winter! Wonderful! The saying goes, that if a woolly bear has a broad red band the winter will be warm, but if the red band is narrow we're in for a real nasty winter.
