OTOH, in the area of Ithaca, NY, when the flying squirrels don't fly they say "it must be going to rain, the squirrels are out of nuts." [just some petty pet stuff, eh, Faldo? ] And then sometimes these non-flying flying squirrels shanghai a residence and cause the inhabitats to muse the meteorological percentages of counting cows. But, in Ithaca, the cows usually lay down before it snows!
