Birds & Cats winter forecast 2014/15 confirmed

Our long range forecast from mid-September 2014 in the post Yeah, we are doing a weather forecast!  turned out to be spot on.

The birds said early chill, the cats added not very cold, and the combined prediction of both species could not have been done better by a weatherman.

Is there anything we can learn from this, any practical side other than heaping praise on the former feral kittens and the unknown swallows?

'fraid not, just one data point does not exactly qualify as reliable weather data, and the fact that some swallows are back has not been a good identifier for summer since the an old Greek coined "one swallow does not make a summer".

The cats received an extra large helping of treats, the kind we call kitty crack because it drives them nuts. The swallows will do just fine on their own.

If we remember, we'll check for the latest forecast in fall.
