The danish weather service is most reluctant in making long term prognosis, nevertheless they did. And even if it is a very vague prognosis, it does seem to confirm the prognosis already quoted.

This morning Ihad a food delvery for the dogs, whatever comes, the will not need to starve.

Firewood: Check.
Doors and windows in order: Check.
Snow shovel: Check.
Roof and walls: Check.
Winter boots: Opps!

We have that here as well. If the Rowan tree has lots of berries early then it's a sign of a harsh winter...
The Rowan was also planted in Scotland near houses to ward off evil.

If this works, it is a link to a pipe band playing "the rowan tree" you will have to click the link on this page, its half way down sorry !!

Hello,

We have not Rowan trees on our grounds in Saxony, but we have Elder trees with many berries this year, perhaps cold winter then also.

Elder tree

Elder beeries


Thistles this summer

Hello,

Kim thanks for your notes and information.

I will buy grain for the birds and will mount the snow plow on my compact-tractor.

I am still considering whether to buy an emergency generator.
