One of THE best predictors of TWO major snowstorms in my area (DC) was -- The Birds.... As the snow began late in the afternoon, a light dusting of tiiiny tiny flakes started to fall.. and at the same time, the birds started to FRANTICALLY search for food, even while the ground was still dry and uncovered. "Better go home NOW" I said to my guests, who had been waffling about "blizzrd? or not?" -- and they left. By daybreak we had almost 2 feet of snow on the ground.
