229/365 Woolly worms running wild

I cringe to think of how many woolly worms I've run over with my car in the last few weeks. I see them crawling across the roads all over the place.

Did you know that woolly worms can predict the winter weather ahead? It's true! Legend has it that the amount of brown versus black coloring describes the upcoming season. More black, harsher winter. More brown, more mild.

Totally accurate, right?

So what does it mean when all the woolly worms I've seen in the last decade look exactly like this one?
