Question Can you tell the winter weather by how many acorns are falling from the trees?
Answer The saying is “an unusual abundance of acorns” could be a sign of a very rough winter. The theory is that the more acorns, the more food for the squirrels. About every 5-8 years, oak trees have a major production of acorns. One would say that his or her trees were dropping acorns like rain last year but it was a mild winter. The answer is the greater the abundance of acorns, the rougher the winter. Moreover, just wait for reality because acorn abundance will not always mean a rough winter.
