    I've not seen very many here either but every single one has been solid black.

    They must all be here in NE OH! If one was so inclined to try to miss running over all the WWs that are crossing the road you'd look like drunken fool!

    Supposedly the wider the orange band, the warmer the winter. And usually a warmer winter will bring more snow or ice but not always.

    My wife just told me she's been seeing them on her walk, the middle part is mostly brown.

    We have a older man from this area saying we'll get hit with a big ice storm this winter.

    Found both of these this morning... one at my house and the other across the street at the neighbors.... quite the contrast or just maybe they are confused...
