The plant world prepares for the winter cold, as does man. But he has more advantages. According to some changes in the movement of air or stars, plants feel how soon the cold will come, how strong they will be. They themselves know
about this and we are prompted.
Omens: late fall foliage
It is believed that each tree foresees what the weather will be like. If the plants quickly got rid of the leaves, then winter will come early. Public utilities do not need to wait for weather forecasts. When preparing for snow removal, they are prompted by a sign. Late leaf fall suggests that winter will be difficult. There will be a lot of snow, blizzards. So, you need to prepare equipment for complex work. And we, the common population, should prepare warmer boots and a thicker fur coat! But this is not all the information that the plant world is ready to give us! We need ordinary attention, then it will be possible to avoid problems and troubles.
Sign: late fall of oak and birch
Different trees prepare differently for hibernation. Each species has its own training regimen. If all the trees are already
they threw off the foliage, and the oak still shows off in the autumn decoration, this indicates some features of the upcoming season. So what is this sign? Late leaf fall near the oak tree suggests that winter will be snowy. The plant, to the last, tries to stock up on nutrients for a long period of forced hibernation. Birches are also sensitive. If all the trees are already bare, and the white-trunked beauties do not want to get rid of the remnants of the yellowed leaves, then wait for lingering cold weather.
Sign: late fall over cherry
This wonderful berry tree can tell us when the thaws are over and frosts come into full power. There is such a popular sign: late leaf fall at cherries speaks of thaws. Until all the leaves of this tree are on the ground, snow will fall and melt. The sledding path will not be established, as our ancestors said. These signs related to the weather. But there are observations that relate to the life of society.
Late leaf fall and world events
Observing people from Ukraine can tell how this omen works. Yes, and you yourself can observe. And the sign is this: if the snow fell on the fallen leaves, then the people will be hard. So thought our ancestors. And you cannot argue with their observation. Remember the joke about the Chukchi, which weather forecasters prompted the weather forecast for the coming winter? So it is in life. No matter how much science comes up with methods of prediction, no matter what scientific theories they justify, and observations of nature will still more accurately tell what weather to expect.
How the leaf fell
This sign will tell about whether the next year will be fruitful. If the leaves fall face up, then the crop will be sparse, "crop failure" is called. If on the contrary - to be generous and fertile in the coming year. Joy to the peasant. Also, the leaves can make a weather forecast. A lot of them on earth show you the rear - to be a warm winter. And if the leaves basically show the face - the cold will be severe, but long! And if both of them are the same on earth, then frost will alternate with a thaw. Winter will not be too long, mild.
