Sounds stupid, but some suggest that birds and animals sense a change in
the weather!!
Yesterday and today I just get the feeling that looking at the landscape,
it almost seems ready for snow, as if nature knows it's on the way.
I can't give any logical explanation but I've sensed it before.
Maybe it's the crop circles which look like the letters G, F and S or the
cloud formation with a 1, 2 and 0, or the flock of geese in snowflake
formation.
I'm sure that Lawrence will understand.

You know David it's so odd that you mention that. Animal instinct or
behaviour is a very powerful force and should only be ignored at our
peril.

For the first time ever at Christmas, whilst shopping at Waitrose in
Beckenham this morning, I shared a queue with some squirrels.
I remarked to them about the possibility of snow for Tuesday next week.
The male squirrel looked at me very concerned and using his uncanny
supernatural instincts said.

"are you sure about that mate?"

I explained to him that the models and especially UKMO are now putting
warnings out !

He turned to his female squirrel partner and said

"Ethel don't stand there go and get half a dozen of those big family
sized bags of nuts from the fruit & veg section - it's gonna snow next
week and things are gonna get rough"

Well the other shoppers heard what the squirrel said, and very soon
Waitrose was out of nuts, all down to sheer animal ability to predict
severe weather.

Uncanny that.

Ahh! I wondered where the squirrels had gone. I hadn't seen them for a while
and there are no nuts on my Beech tree this year, so I new they must have
found another source.
Apart from that their Volvo's not been parked in the village either.
