Well, does the tail tell us anything?

If a squirrel's tail is especially bushy does that mean a bad winter looms ahead? How about an abundance of acorns? 
Not sure I want to know really, but I know we're due for a cold harsh winter since we've had several mild ones in a row. I'm hoping this little guy's tail is just show and not really telling us anything.

Crap!

Guess I'll be checking onions next.

And if I see a pig gathering sticks I'm heading to Florida to spend some time with mom. Interesting folklore predictors here.
