Forget the weather app for a minute. Louisville's woolly worms have something to say. So do the squirrels, persimmon seeds and those lumpy, yellow-green hedge apples littering the parks. And considering The Courier Journal’s annual Folklore Forecast has called six of the past 10 winters correctly, we’re inclined to hear them out. Their message this fall?
