Big CatSquirrel tail circumference predicts the length of winter
You look at the squirrel's tail, the circumference of a squirrel's tail will tell you how long the winter's going to be... That's a little farmer's almanac trick for you.
This is a common folklore myth (fluffier tails = harsher winter) with no proven scientific basis for long-term prediction.
