Folk omens
September 5th is popularly known as Lupensky Frosts.
The weather on this day was used to predict the weather in winter and autumn.
So, if the cranes have already flown south, winter is supposed to be early. Frost in the morning also indicates that winter will come early. Thunder on September 5, in turn, foretells a warm autumn and a cold winter.
Pay attention to the leaves falling from the trees: if they fall "face down" to the ground, it promises a mild and warm winter. If "face up" to the sky, the winter months will be cold.
