10 the examiner Thursday Doc 1977 winter ahead PETERBOROUGH Ont CP Three weather experts who have total of more than 200 years of forecasting ex perience have predicted we will have long cold harsh winter with lighterthanaverage snowfall Archie Wilkie 69 says its going to be damned cold and long winter because the birds flew south early this year Harold Foshay 56 agrees but says there wont be much snow because this fall has been wetter than usual Harry Baumhauer 80 says it going to be harsh and cold but adds Its going to be confusing winter because well have little of everything They made their predictions without the statistical data computers and satellites found in almost any weather station Their forecasts were based on observations of barely noticeable signs The men gained their skills living on farms before radio and television were household items When they wanted to know what the weather was going to be they looked around and examined little signs they recognized from experience ANIMALS KNOW WEATHER Baumhauer who farmed for more than 30 years sa that when cattle or horses bunch together in circle wit their backs to each other storm can be expected When peacocks go to the highest point as the roof of barn its sure sign of storm and when beaver build lodge thats taller than usual there will be heavy snowfall If they cut down many thick trees it will be long winter Baumhauer says these prediction methods cant he used in the city because there arent enough signs to watch When Wilkie was young whipperAsnapixi on Sas katchewan farm all he had to do to know whether storm was brewing was to see if hair on horses or cattlcs back was standing lllllIISiAE SIGN He knew it would be dry summer if prairie gophers dug their tunnels in lowlands if they dug their
