Woolly Bear Weatherman


Another cold front has moved over PG today and it's -26 deg C outside. It reminded me of the Woolly Bear Caterpillar I spotted last autumn. Folklore claims this humble larva of the Isabella Tiger Moth can predict the severity of the winter ahead. According to this one, this winter was going to be short, cold and snowy (correct so far!). Those interested can read more about them at the link below.

-26?! Is that possible?! We are off to Prague on Sunday and I am worried about -3!! Spent today trying to find warm gloves etc as I get very cold. Very nippy your side of the world. Cx
