    Somebody asked me about seeing an albino woolly bear. What does it mean? With the winds of winter on the horizon and the propensity for harsh New England winters, what does it mean for a New Englander to see an Albino Woolly Bear? Perhaps if you don't see the creature only they are in for an unusual winter blast. More canned goods in the cabinet? Extra wax for the snow shovel? Perhaps a front end loader? The first snow advisory of the season was issued for for Montana and Wyoming while in New England we receive a heat advisory. I wonder what the woolly bear has to say about that? World weather conducted by an egg beater?

    EEK!! A white woolly bear.....we are doomed to a winter of white stuff.

    A winter in Belem sounds inviting.

    Bring it on, after the summer here that began in March it will take about 2 months of heavy white stuff to cool the ground down enough to not melt the beautiful stuff immediately.
