Rule of thumb for the PNW, if it's Cold and Raining on Oct 12th, it's gonna be a cold wet winter, if its cold and dry, it's going to be cold and white! If the Doggies start shedding before the 12th, it's gonna be nasty, if they blow out after the 12th, it's only gonna be wet and cold!
My dogs didn't know if their coats were coming or going this fall. Last time dogs coats were all over the place, it was a solar minimum and la Nina the winter sucked massively.
Cattle just like to hang around the Hay Ring.

I tend to rely on my 'Weather Rock', it almost never fail me. If it's wet, probably raining, if it burns my fingers, probably hot, if it is white, means it's snowing, very useful thing, a "Weather Rock".
Aw yes ,, the famed weather rock. It's not all that well at predicting the weather ,,, but damned near perfect equipment for existing conditions ,,,,
I guess 2020 is just hell bent and determined to sit on our face and wiggle until it's 2022. I think it's time to barricade myself in my crawl space and check every five years or so to see if it's safe to go outside.
It can and has snowed in the UP on the 4th of July. Heard tell that they went on with the parade but had to postpone the fireworks,
