Can the woolly bear caterpillar actually 'predict' winter weather?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:10 GMT

(WHTM) -- You may have heard that the woolly bear caterpillar can 'predict' whether or not we have a mild or a harsh winter. But is that true?According to folklore, the amount of black on the woolly bear in autumn varies equally with the severity of the coming winter where the insect is found.  If the woolly bear is mostly black, it will be a very harsh and severe winter. If the woolly bear has an orange stripe, it means that the winter will be mild.  The wider the red-orange band is, the more mild the upcoming winter will be. NOAA releases 2023-2024 winter predictions However, the National Weather Service (NWS) said this is merely a myth, and the caterpillar cannot predict what winter will bring. According to the agency, the coloring of the woolly bear has to do with its age, species, and what it has been feeding on. The better the growing season, the larger the caterpillar becomes and in turn, gives the insect a narrower red-orange band in the middle. So this band ca...

Democrats seek upset in Mississippi governor's race

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:10 GMT

Mississippi’s gubernatorial race next week could be surprisingly competitive as Democratic challenger Brandon Presley seeks to unseat Republican Gov. Tate Reeves in the deep-red state. Despite Mississippi’s status as a conservative stronghold, Democrats see an opportunity to flip the governor’s mansion, pointing to Reeves’s relatively low approval ratings and concerns about a long-running welfare scandal in the state as he seeks his second term as governor. The GOP holds a trifecta in the state — meaning it controls the governor’s office, as well as the state House and Senate — while former President Trump won the state by roughly 16 points in 2020. But the nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report shifted its assessment of the gubernatorial race last week from “likely” to “lean” Republican. Reeves “still has the edge,” analyst Jessica Taylor wrote for Cook Political Report, but Presley's “unusually strong challenger” status has made the race “a comp...
