Another theory from the Farmers Almanac though says that cow lie down simple to chew their cud.
Likewise, the University also concluded that when a front is approaches and weather is cooling down. Science Behind:Ī study conducted by The University of Arizona found that cows like to stand up in warm weather, presumably so that they can disperse heat, and cool down quicker. When one sees the cows all laying down, it going to snow that day or next day.” I delved into this a bit further to see if there was any science behind this theory. “Some folks say when we get into the winter months, and one drives around the area (Burnsville, NC) or other. Do cows have a 6th sense that helps them prepare for the weather? Watson Geoffrey, an Ashevillewx reader said this. Cows Lying On The Ground Means It Will SnowĪs a winter storm approaches, many Ashevillewx followers have observed cows laying on the ground around WNC. Therefore on a scale of 1/10, I give this Weatherlore a 5/10 regarding the accuracy of its predictions.Ĩ. Without a source of warm air, cooler air can dominate, and a Gulf Low with adequate positioning can create snowfall across the southeast. Strong fronts in the winter push away high pressures that are situated on the Southeast Atlantic Coast. So basically what I have just described is known as a pattern change. So the front pushes the high pressure out of the way, and cold air floods in behind after the thunder has occurred. A strong front would likely bring with it the chance for thunderstorm development. In order to move this high away, it takes a strong front. Precipitation that falls when this high pressure is strong, typically falls in the form of rain. This pushes warm air into the area, and most of the time eliminates the threat for snow. Many times during winter, a strong high pressure will develop off the Southeast Atlantic Coast. But why then did our grandparents believe these signs were significant? Because before weather models and the accumulation of data, they were!! Amy Graham-Silvers, an avid Ashevillewx reader states that her dad called them “old wives tales” and that he said “thunder in the winter means snow within the next 7-10 days”.
Why? Because of course their parents or grandparents taught them to do so. Every time it thunders, comments flood in on Ashevillewx indicating the presences of thunder, and many locals begin a countdown.

If It Thunders During Winter, It Will Snow In 7-10 Daysĭuring the winter months, some southerns believe that a crack of thunder indicates that it will snow in 7 days. Therefore on a scale of 1-10, I give deer coats a 3 on the accuracy scale.ĩ. You can’t count the hairs, so one relies on the senses to measure this notion. The problem though is that it is difficult to measure from year to year. Therefore, thickness of a deers coat does have so scientific significance. If their coat is not thick enough for a harsh winter, they will likely die due to natural selection. Their metabolism actually slows to a crawl because food is scarce, and a thick coat is necessary to keep them warm. They do not hibernate during the winter, but simply just move less. Science Behind:ĭeer, just like any other species, will prepare for winter in whatever way necessary. From an online poll at Ashevillewx, I found that some people observe the thickness of the deers winter fur coat and how early it arrives to determine how severe winter will be. Therefore, deer hunters are in contact with deer each year on a frequent basis. So what does this have to do with winter in the South?ĭeer are a prevalent species in the Southeast, and the hunting of them is also very popular. Many animals have been documented in retreat from the coastline several minutes before a Tsunami arrives. They can foretell of impeding natural disasters, and they use their heightened senses to prepare. Animals are known to take nature’s signs and apply them to their daily life. Many people in the South believe that animals are an excellent predictor of weather to come, and they are not wrong in thinking so.
