The Russian winter lives in three months - the folk proverb says. According to the astronomical calendar, it lasts from the winter solstice to vernal equinox... Meteorologists in winter count the entire period when average daily temperature air below zero degrees. And the popular calendar claims that winter begins with frost and ends in drops.

Everything has become quiet in nature in anticipation of cold weather. And although even in the summer and autumn, with the help of signs, data was obtained on the nature of the upcoming winter, the peasant has his own opinions on this matter - he must check everything himself. He will go out in the morning to give food to the cow and glance at the sky along the way, notice how pets and the feathered population behave - sparrows, tits, bullfinches. Will become thoughtful, will go into the dressing room, where he has a dry spruce twig nailed, and will give out his forecast for the coming day, or even for the whole week. And what is interesting: this grandfather's forecast is almost always justified.
The clouds are going against the wind - towards the snow. The sun sets in the clouds - to snowfall. The clouds are floating low - expect the cold.
Smoke from chimneys in a column - to the cold.

Before the cold, the stars shine brightly in the night, in the morning the dawn is always bright. But if you hear thunder and see lightning, then expect a storm.

house birds are quiet;
in the morning the titmouth screams strongly;
in one nest you suddenly see several squirrels;
the crow hides its nose under the wing;
wolves howl near dwellings.

Mama! Look out the window
Know that yesterday was not for nothing that the cat
I washed my nose:
There is no dirt, the whole yard is dressed,
It brightened, turned white
Apparently there is frost.
Before bad weather, the cat reaches for the water and laps it more than usual.
Ravens croaked with the whole flock - to the frost;
they made a round dance in the sky - to the snowfall;
sitting on the ground - for a thaw;
sat on the lower branches of trees - wait for the wind.
Magpie flies near housing, climbs under the eaves to the blizzard.
For two or three days, our closest neighbor in housing, a sparrow, smells the frost. It's January outside, and he suddenly started collecting various rags, feathers, threads - as if he was going to build a new nest. So he does before the onset of great cold weather.
Chickens begin to pluck before the snowfall. But during the frost, the smoke looked askew, bent out like a yoke - it means that the frosts will weaken.
Look at the windows: all of a sudden, during the frost, they burst into tears, flowed from the windowsills, which means it will be warmer tomorrow. People always expected a thaw if:
the forest rustled during the frost;
during frost, the squirrel leaves the nest and descends from the tree;
the sparrows chirped in unison;
a bullfinch flew into the window;
the fog descended to the ground.
In winter, the horse will not lie down on the ground, if, of course, it is healthy, but before the thaw it almost always lies down, and then soon a snowfall was expected.
