A Woolly Bear Caterpillar report for Central NY.
Supposedly, less black towards the head (left) and more towards the tail indicates winter begins mildly, and ends harshly. The more brown bands, the more moderate the winter overall.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

here in northwestern PA, I've been seeing them with lots of black at both ends, only 1 segment of brown in the middle. I guess that means lots of lake effect snow heading our way this year.

I wonder about that Louvre robbery. They let somebody park a truck with an "electric ladder" right against the wall. When they respond to the alarms set off by the "disc cutter" (=cutting wheel?) at the window, multiple security guards are frightened into submission with this disc cutter. The other security guards evacuate the whole museum, creating massive confusion which may not have done much to hinder the robbery and escape.
