Is it true that the less acorns you see on the ground, the more snow we get we get.?

Question

Some of my friends at the residence I'm at wanted to know. I didn't know for sure so I turned here for the answer.

Answer 1

It's not snowing. I can't see acorns.

Answer 2

If there is less acorns on the ground, there is probably more squirrels in the trees. We have a lot and they are big this year. The squirrels are really busy. Does that mean a lot of snow this year? Maybe. Could be that we had a good growing season for acorns.

Answer 3

I'll be interested to know. We haven't any acorns this year. The leaves came on the trees twice and that affected the acorn crop. We are having a mild, dry Autumn.

Answer 4

thats what Ive heard, but it hasnt been seen in my years-2 years ago there were an abundant supply of acorns everywhere that had fallen and every said we were going to have a bad winter and we only had one snow storm.

Answer 5

I don't know, but around here when we went for a drive and walk around, we didn't see a single acorn under the oak trees....really strange. I'll let you know how our winter turns out.

Answer 6

Not necessarily.

Less acorns = bigger squirrel hoards

Until you figure out what goes on in a squirrel's head, I'm afraid it's not true nor false.

Answer 7

more old wives tales!, another is if you see robins before winter it will snow, if its going to snow, it will snow, or we have some very greedy squirrels, they eat acorns, and bury them.

Answer 8

no.........what if the it is a young tree the yeilds little amount of acorns ....it will not snow any less

Answer 9

Sometimes.

Answer 10

That's a new one, especially if it's true!
