We had horses and we always knew how cold the upcoming winter would be, or if winter was going to arrive early by how long and how soon in the fall their coat would grow. The earlier the winter coat would grow meant an early winter. The thicker the coat the colder the upcoming winter would be. The reverse was true at the end of winter. The earlier they would shed their winter coat, the sooner spring was on its way.
