    I haven't seen any yet but Judy says she has and they seem normal sized. Normal winter, I guess.

    Well Seasoned that first picture some have warned about people getting rashes from those. Beware.

    Put a little leash on it and take it for a walk. Use gloves.
    Saw another one this morning with only a bit of black.

    It tells us if you increase your sample size of wooly caterpillars you're gonna find quite a variation in coloration and size.
    Also that the fairy tale regarding wooly caterpillars is a cutesy one. As harmless as Santa Claus. Unless you're pushing some absurd sick perverted woke agenda.

    Looks like the brown is getting wider!

    You get hammered by those storms today early afternoon? An alert went off on a radio station today for your area.

    No but we did have some thunder this morning with rain overnight. The one storm I saw an alert from went north of us by 37 miles.

    Tonight we had a light show with some pretty good rains.

    They always get a ton of snow but I'm wondering with this fall being really warm, will the Lake Effect be even worse.
