I dunno, the Wooly Mammoths around here haven't started migrating south yet as I understand they usually have by this time most years. Beavers are swimming around without any sticks in their mouths, and as we all know the number of sticks a beaver carries indicates the inches of snow that will fall. The box elder bugs are still around in great numbers, too.

I was talking with a Shoshone a couple of days ago who predicted a long, hard winter, contrary to all the signs above. I asked him why, he responded that "you white men are piling up lots and lots of firewood."
