Zimushka-winter

Winter time is one of the most wonderful times of the year. It combines endless frosts, chilling to the bones, and inconsistent warmth from the rare winter sun. In the old days, people loved to guess on anything and in any way. And winter here is no exception. The ancient signs of winter have kept and still continue to keep the intrigue of the future... What will happen ahead - a quick spring or a long winter? From year to year, from century to century, people asked Mother Nature about this. And, by the way, they recorded their observations in the so-called monthbook.

What is a mesenzolov?

This is a calendar that existed in ancient times. People who lived in Rus' placed in it various information about signs and various church holidays. As we have already said, signs were also written down in the monthbook winter weather. For example, people believed that if the New Year turned out to be bad weather, then the harvest would be good. Another well-known winter sign, once reflected in the month's word, is associated with Tatiana's day: if it is warm on Tatiana (January 25), then expect an early summer, and if there is snow, then expect a damp and cold summer.

Folk signs in winter

Once upon a time, winter signs were something like weather reports. They helped farmers and peasants prepare their farms before the onset of cold weather. This is what made signs foreshadowing the onset of frost so popular in our time. Below are some of the most famous and often come true winter signs.

• If the wind is humming in the chimneys, and smoke is pouring out of the chimneys, expect frost.
• The crackling of vegetation in the forest predicts prolonged frosts.
• A harsh winter is predicted by a bountiful autumn harvest of rowan.
• Are tits calling loudly in the mornings in December? Frost will come soon.
• A cold and snowy December indicates a good harvest next year.
• Signs of a cold winter are also reflected in the behavior of land animals, not just birds. If, for example, a cat hides its nose under its paw or lies close to the stove, then expect severe frosts. If a cat in the house stands on its hind legs and scratches the walls with its claws, expect a blizzard. A blizzard is also predicted by a dog lying in the snow. If a horse lies down on the snow, then a thaw is coming.
• If thunder suddenly strikes in winter, expect cold weather, and if lightning strikes, storms.
• Suspicious warm winter speaks of a rainy summer.
• If in winter time There has been fog on the streets since the morning, a thaw will come soon.
• Is the snow flying and swirling in flakes? Expect bad weather and wet weather!
• The sooner the snow falls, the sooner spring will happen.
• Russian folk signs say: deep and loose snow- to a rich harvest. If the snow drifts close to the fences in December, the summer will turn out to be bad. If there is a gap left, then the summer will be fruitful.
• Is the forest noisy in winter? Wait for the thaw!
• Frequent winds in December promise a lot of slush in March and April.

Signs in winter by numbers

Weather signs of winter time are based not only on the behavior of living and inanimate nature, but also on the dates of a particular month. Let's consider them too.

• It is believed that December 1 sets the tone for the rest of the winter. If the weather is warm on this day, then the winter promises to be warm, if it’s cold, the winter will be fierce, and if it’s changeable, get ready for surprises!
• If there was frost on December 29, then the cold will last until the bright holiday of the Epiphany.
• Whatever weather happens on January 1st, so will the first day of summer.
• If it's warm and clear on January 5th, expect a bountiful harvest this year.
• If the sun shines on Tatyana’s day (January 25), then the birds will return to their homeland very early, and if snowing, then the coming summer will be cloudy and rainy.
• Is the sun shining brightly on February 15th? Spring will come soon!

Sun and frost - a wonderful day!

Russian folk signs, one way or another connected with the winter season, were so popular in Rus' that the most space is allocated for them in the folk month. Among them there are also permanent signs. For example, it is difficult to argue with this prediction: December 25 is the so-called solstice. At this time, the sun is a sign of summer, and winter is a sign of frost. Who could argue with that, right?

And it’s true: already at the end of December, the sun begins to rise higher and higher every day, shining and warming up Mother Earth longer and longer. But this in no way prevents the frosts from getting stronger and gaining strength. That is why February is often no less cold than January with its famous Epiphany frosts.

Linguists generally believe that the Belarusian name for February - “lute” - is connected with this. Forecasters, in turn, say that such signs in winter are not just some kind of folk observation, but a whole mystery of our Russian climate: the sun is warming more and more, and winter is getting colder and colder. But there's nothing you can do about it.

Groundhog Day - the most famous winter omen

Groundhog Day is, of course, not an original Russian sign, but only an American one, but it would be unfair not to mention it in this article, because it is the most recognizable winter prediction of the coming of spring around the world! In addition, it came to our country not so long ago as borrowed from Canada: for several recent years February in Russia is not complete without this sign. In winter (February 2), the whole world remembers the groundhog...

What is Groundhog Day?

This is not so much a folk American sign as a traditional one. winter holiday, celebrated in Canada and the USA. Every year on February 2, Americans make observations of a marmot crawling out of its hole. Legend says that if a groundhog, waking up from sleep, does not see its shadow and calmly leaves the hole, then winter will soon recede, giving way to the beautiful spring. To be fair, it should be noted that marmots do not see their shadows only on cloudy days.

If the groundhog, having left the hole, sees its shadow and, frightened by it, hides back in the hole, the Americans will have to endure another 6 weeks of winter. Again, we note that this rodent can see its shadow only if the day of February 2 is initially clear. The most famous meteorologist in America and around the world is, of course, Phil from the town of Punxsutawney in Pennsylvania. Here they are, these folk signs in winter!

Winter is an incredibly wonderful time of year, combining bone-chilling frost and the warming warmth of the rare winter sun. Using the ancient signs of winter, people usually guessed what kind of summer lay ahead, and how long it would be until spring.

• The later the cranes leave their native lands, the later winter will come.
• Warm winter? Expect a cold and rainy summer!
• Deep snow portends a bountiful harvest.
• If a blizzard creeps across the snow, it means that the coming harvest will be meager.
• If all the birds are at once and in short terms fly away - the winter will be very harsh.
• The sooner the snow falls, the sooner spring will knock.
• Little snowy winter leading to dry summer.
• If there is a lot of snow at the very beginning of winter, the summer will be rainy, and in general, the more snow there is in winter, the more rain there is in summer.
• The starry sky is a guarantee of a frosty day.
• The snow that falls before the leaves fall will still melt.
• A chilly February and a cold and cloudy summer threatens.
