Weather forecasters are notorious for being consistently imprecise. For example, for this winter, they predict "equal chance of the temperature and precipitation being above or below average for the next three months". This has caused some people to turn to- who else- worms to forecast the weather.
The woolly worm (in reality not a worm at all- a caterpillar- but close enough) sometimes has a thicker coat and sometimes a thinner one than average. According to folklore, the thicker the coat and the darker the worm, the colder the winter will be. I don't know how reliable worms are on this subject, but it's nice to have a second opinion.
The worms predict winter will be cold.
