    It is said that if the hare wears a thick coat in Octover lay in a good store of fuel.
    October has always twenty-one fine days.
    If foxes bark much in Octover they are calling up a good fall of snow.
    When birds and badgers are fat in Octover expect a cold winter.
    If on the tress the leave still hold
    The coming winter will be cold
