El Nino predicted for winter weather

“See how high the hornet’s nest, ‘twill tell how high the snow will rest.” This is an old farmer’s saying, and if hornets’ behavior this fall holds true, there will be relatively less snow this winter. There have been a lot of reports of hornets flying close to the ground and getting into homes through doors and windows. An indication that their nests are closer to the ground. “If you see a wasp’s nest built low to the ground, expect little snow. If you see one built high, expect a lot of snow,” the weather lore tells us.
