Folk omens for November 17, 2024: what will winter 2024-2025 be like
It's November 17th. The folk calendar says that today we celebrate Gregory the Winter-Pointer.
Previously, residents of rural areas believed that it was on this day – from morning until noon – that the weather would tell what the coming winter would be like.
Or rather, what its first half will be like. But the weather on November 17 from lunch until evening will indicate what the second half of winter will be like.
According to popular wisdom, if snow falls in your area today, you should know that the coming winter will be snowy.
The crows croaking on November 17th indicate precipitation of a different kind – rain, according to the sign, is in a hurry to arrive.
Rejoice if you notice dark ice on the river, for next year a bountiful harvest awaits you.
If it was cloudy before lunch and then cleared up, this means that the winter will be mild.
Nice weather outside? Evidence that the winter will be good, not harsh.
If today is a cloudy day, it means that many winter days will be the same.
Did you see the moon in a bright circle? This, as the sign says, is a sign of a change in the weather, the arrival of a storm is not excluded.
