Ever wonder how they predicted the weather by the signs of nature for the up coming seasons in these mountains and rural areas in the old days. Here is a look at some of the old signs they read in nature to predict the weather before the modern forecasts. Thanks for watching.

My momma (my great aunt who legally adopted me when she was 55 amd I was 10 weeks!) always told me most of these.. She was right. She was born in 1915 in a lil cabin in western KY. Served in WW2 and had a Masters degree. She never forgot her mountain ways and She taught me so much. I'm so thankful. I'm now 53 and I hope I instilled some of our mountain ways in my own 2 daughters. Thank you for these. Tha k you for taking me back in time..just for a lil while. It was like sitting with mom talking. Thanks for reminding what kind of wonderful stock I come from. God bless. ❤

Love your post. Dont forget from where you come. The elderly today are a wealth of knowledge thats quickly being lost if we dont catch it and pass it on. And that in my opinion is a sin and a crime and will be the death of civilization.

I have lived in NC my whole life. Growing up my grandma would always say something in regards to the weather. I remember her telling me that her mama, my great grandma, would always say that anytime the sun would set red, that it would be windy the next day. That statement has been true my entire life too. They both could smell rain and smell a snake when it was near. They kept farmers almanacs and the farmers almanac calenders and my parents still get them every year.

@timchilders3535 Жыл бұрын

@@billngold6 Hi Bill. I haven't actually grown any peaches, but considering peaches are grown from trees, I doubt moon phase has anything to do with quality or yield. Peach tree yields vary from year to year, and obviously the tree is only planted once. I can't see how moon phase would possibly affect a peach tree once it's up and mature enough to produce, any more than it would affect any other tree. I'm in Western North Carolina, in the Foothills area. Not many peach trees here, usually get good fresh peaches from Gaffney Spartanburg, and into Georgia. We used to grow lots of potatoes, Irish and Sweet both. Always had wonderful yields of potatoes. Last good many years, I just plant and grow yellow sweet corn, white okra, squash, lots of tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers, and green beans. I can a right smart every summer, I really enjoy that. We haven't raised any hogs or beef in probably 20 years, used to raise a fair bit of both, and I've dug and set my share of fence posts. With old style post hole diggers, at that. Those nice augers that go on the back of your tractor, are so much easier! Needless to say, I've also hunted and fished all my life since I was probably 7 years old, I've always been albe and appreciated making my own food, vegetables, fruits, and meats. I also enjoy "canning" my own crystal clear liquid corn as well😉. As I've worked, and enjoyed and appreciated all these fine activities throughout my life, and I'm 53, I can honestly report that I have never once, paid any attention to, nor depended on any particular lunar phase, to influence my actions. That being said, I am very open minded, and I try to learn, and gain knowledge and skills, anytime I can. Can you explain to me how lunar phases affect such activities, and processes? What are the actual mechanics and science between lunar phase, and things like I've mentioned here? I have always been intrigued by this subject, but I still haven't been able to grasp the correlation, nor have I found anyone that can explain it to me. Thank you Sir🙂👍

Mr. Donnie. I so very much enjoy your commentary and stories of Appalachia. I never had the fortune to live in Appalachia but have visited east Tennessee western NC and northern GA very many times and was able to hike 300 miles of the Appalachian trail on foot and camping as a young woman. My Father was Cherokee and his grandfather was a boy during the trail of tears and my dad was born on a reservation in OK. He taught me many of his people's stories of Appalachia before the government stole their land. The people of Appalachia were always resourceful and learned to survive in wilderness and to make what they needed. I remember many of the stories of the smokey mountains and the way life was and the beauty of the area. Thank you for bringing me fond memories of the mountains.

Also, I will tell you our Acorns have been dropping super heavy and started very early this year, and the pecans as well. We have had plenty of good rain, but the leaves have started to turn and fall early too. Not bc lack of rain. It should be interesting. Stay safe my friend!

Always spit the seeds out. I'm gonna try to cut one open. Been very concerned for the pollinators. Didn't see one honey bee this year. Now, that I think about it, didn't see any yellow jackets. Saw a few butterflies but nothing is how it used to be. A lot has changed within the recent 10 years. Stink bugs have started showing up. Something I've noticed is they stink different.

I'm really enjoying all of your videos. My mother was raised in a village in the country in Illinois. The terrain was much different from the mountains but it's still reminiscent of such a time. Another family from the same village was telling me how one of the boys from their family carried coal in a bucket to set on the porch of another older lady who lived in the village every day. There's an old newspaper article of my grandpa being interviewed talking about the old times. During the depression and WWII, since the young men were gone and there was no work, the older men would meet at the railroad tracks every day and play cards. If someone passed away, there was no funeral home and no one hired to dig the grave. They would have the service at the church on the hill and then carry the coffin down to the cemetery and bury the person. The men of the village would handle the hard manual labor. They didn't have big farms in the village but my grandpa liked to grow tomatoes. I'm not sure how much they grew when he was a little boy. He did say once that if you don't plant according to the almanac, you'll get a crop of leaves. I still quote him saying that but I've never planted according to the almanac. They did a lot by the almanac. My aunt to this day won't schedule a surgery unless the day of the surgery meets the guidance of the almanac. If someone has a bad result from a surgery, she says now and my grandmother used to say the person must not have consulted the almanac first. I've also heard my grandpa talk about using a witches stick in the cemetery find out where people were located just like your reference to dowsing rods and water. Grandpa was a Battle of the Bulge Army veteran and a coal miner for all of his working life. Southern Illinois is coal country.

Very interesting things,more than I knew😱. I usually see the Wooly Bear (Worm) but not at all this year !? The old timers here say if the smoke from a Fire blows down there's a Storm coming. The Snow blowin every Wich way is the sign of a Noreaster (Northeaster)! Like you said always deep Snow ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️. Thanks Donnie good stuff😊. JO JO IN VT 😆💕

Thank you, Donnie. I enjoy your channel so much. I can relate to the subject matter, since I live so close to the mountains of Appalachia, in the Eastern Upper Cumberland. I only saw one very heavy fog in August this year, that didn’t burn off til mid morning after the sun came over the trees, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be ice storms. We had that bad hot spell and drought this Summer, and also it got a few days so humid, the air was so thick, like water was in the air. That was very very strange. I never felt that before in my life, and I’m way up there, lol!
