Weather signs
On this day, people paid attention to the oak trees in the forest. If the trees were hung with ripe acorns, they expected a mild winter without severe frosts.
But a bountiful rowan harvest indicated the opposite: the winter would be frosty and severe. Low-flying birds indicated the same thing and promised an early arrival of the frosty season.
