Wonder if walnuts count...

According to my trusty Farmers' Almanac, the following are signs of a sure-fire cold winter:

• Geese fly south at a high altitude.
• Oak trees bear many acorns.
• Chipmunks are abundant.
• Lakes and rivers freeze later than usual.
• Onions grow thicker skins than usual.
• Squirrels are gathering a large supply of nuts.
• Woodpeckers appear early.
• Lots of berries.
• Corn husks are thicker and stronger.

Given our surplus of wacky walnuts, and the squirrels to go with them, I'm wondering if I need to spend a few more days at the woodpile.
