When I first moved to northern New England I met an old Abnaki indian who told me that we were in for a very cold winter. I was excited believing I was getting ancient lore right from the source, "Indian Knowledge" handed down word-of-mouth from generation to generation. Hoping to learn some of this myself, I asked him what signs gave him this knowledge.
He replied "Being wise in the ways of nature, I noticed that most of the winter vacation ski houses belonging to the 'flatlanders' from New York City were stocking up on firewood...'
