The end of October is gray and cold. Calendar – Folk signs about the weather in October
What the weather will be like in October, when winter comes - we’ll find out from the signs. In Rus', October was given many names ("mud", "gloomy", "podzimnik", "deciduous", "leaf-eater", "zazimnik", "kiselnik", "krugovort" ", "wedding party"), which reflected both natural phenomena and events in the countryside that occurred on these autumn days.
October is associated with many signs about the weather, expressed in proverbs and sayings. They expected various quirks from him; it was not for nothing that they believed that in October “in autumn bad weather there are seven weathers in the yard: it sows, it blows, it twists, it stirs, it roars, it pours from above and sweeps from below.” Sometimes people said about October: “The autumn lace was chilled by the winds.”
By natural signs It was believed that clouds float from north to south - to sunny weather, from south to north - to bad weather. Low dark clouds portend cold, and maybe snowfall. If the sun has risen quickly and is shining brightly, the weather will change. If in October the evening dawn is crimson, yellow-golden or pink, but not red, expect clear weather. If there are a lot of clouds in the form of stripes at sunset - expect rain, and the appearance of even a single cloud on the horizon leads to a change in the weather.
On the fifth day after the new moon there is almost always a strong wind. New moon or new Moon appears in windy weather- there will be wind all month. The sky in the evening is clear, but large circles are visible near the moon - there will be frost, these circles will turn out to be reddish and blurry - snowfall with the wind is possible. Thunder will thunder in October - winter will not come soon and there will be little snow. From what date in October it will snow, from that date on, spring will open in April, but the first snow does not promise a quick winter (they said: “The first powder is not a sleigh ride”) and often falls 40 days before winter (“From the first snow to the sleigh ride, the cart is still running for weeks before five"). October is good - close to powder. In October the moon is in circles - the summer will be dry.
If on Arina (October 1) the cranes will fly, then we have to wait on Pokrov (October 14) the first snow and maybe even frost. If they delay their departure, then not a single frost will hit them until Artem's Day (November 2). On Zosima Solovetsky (October 2) beekeepers clean the hives, collect honey, and say: “Put the hives in the cellar, make honey on the holiday.” Astafy (October 3) famous for its winds: they judge by their direction upcoming weather. They will blow from the north, which means cold, from the south (“yuzhak”) - to warmth, from the west - to wetness, and from the east - to the bucket. They look: it’s foggy and warm, and a long white cobweb is flying through the air during the day, then autumn is favorable, snow will not fall soon.
It is believed that the weather on October 4 usually remains unchanged for 4 weeks. It is clear with a sharp north-east wind - we must expect a cold winter. If to Phokes and Jonah (October 5) the birch leaf has not fallen, the snow will fall late. And if it goes down in due time, then at the end of January - beginning of February there will be a long thaw. On Thekla-zarevnitsa (October 7) pulled the beets. From this time on, the day sharply declines, and the nights darken, the dawns become crimson.
On Sergius of Radonezh (October 8) mark the earliest start of winter. The weather of this day is used to judge the entire winter. If the weather turns out to be good, it will last for three whole weeks. The departure of the cranes before this day is early, cold winter. If the first snow happens on this day, then the same thing will happen on November 8 (wait for winter in all its glory on Michaelmas - November 21). If it doesn't snow, it won't happen on December 7th. It will settle down on the moon and on wet ground- winter will begin soon. The wind blows from the south - to warm winter, from the north or east - to cold. The first snow with leafless cherries means winter is about to set in. By this day, leaves from oak and birch will fall cleanly - to have an easy year, otherwise - it will be a strict winter. They chop the first cabbage, which is why in the old days they said: “September smells like apples, and October smells like cabbage.”
If on John the Evangelist (October 9) snow continues to fall from the 8th, then the date of winter may shift to November 6, and the first snow will happen on this day - winter will begin on Michaelmas Day. And the bucket will remain standing for another two weeks. On Savvatiy the beekeeper (October 10), they finish cleaning the beehives for the winter. For a day Ilya Muromets (October 11) The hare changed his fur coat - wait for winter soon. If snow falls in St. Gregory's Day (October 13)- on the eve of the Intercession, then winter will not come soon. The leaves will not fall from the oaks and birches - the winter will be harsh.
In the old days they noticed: what is Cover Holy Mother of God(October 14), such is winter; On Pokrov it is autumn before lunch, winter-winter after lunch. Where the wind on Pokrov comes from - from there the frosts will begin: from the north - to cold weather, from the south - to warm, from the west - to snowy. If snow fell on Pokrov, then Dmitry's Day (November 8) he will. If the Veil did not cover the earth (with snow), it will not cover it at Christmas either.
On Ustinya the Spreader (October 15) more often it was necessary to begin mass fermentation of cabbage for the winter. WITH Erofey (October 17) begin extreme cold and prolonged morning cold snaps. Happens on Thomas (October 19) late leaf fall- expect a harsh, long winter. Calm weather means a cold snap is imminent. If on Sergius the Winter (October 20) If snow falls while the trees have not yet shed their leaves, it will not last long, it will quickly melt and not before November Matryona (October 22) winter will return to its feet. The sign says: “There is no snow during the day, but the first reliable snow will fall at night.”
From Tryphon - chills and Pelagia (October 21) It’s getting colder and colder, so they noticed: “Trifon is mending his fur coat, Pelageya is sewing mittens.” Yakov the wood sawyer (October 22)“calling to the forest”: the time has come to prepare firewood for the winter. On Eulampia - winter indicator (October 23) the horns of the month on the other side indicate where the winds will come from: if at midnight (to the north) - there will be an imminent winter and the snow will fall dry; if at noon (to the south) - don’t expect winter to come soon, there will be mud and slush until Kazan (November 4)- “Autumn will not wash itself with snow, it will not dress up in a white caftan.” Big mud on this day - four weeks until winter.
Will on Zinaida (October 24) dirt and slush, winter will not wear a white caftan until Kazan. Watch for a day Prova (October 25) behind the stars: bright stars - for frost, dim stars - for thaw. Strong twinkling of stars, predominantly with blue tints, indicates snow. A lot of bright stars- to the pea harvest. The tit presses on Carp day (October 26) to the hut - it means winter is already in the yard.
Bright stars on Paraskeva the Grubby (October 27)- To good harvest, and if the yard is damp and dirty, there will be a lot of dirt left (to dry snow, to real winter) another 4 weeks. If the mud is great, the horse's hoof is filled with water, then the fallen snow immediately sets the winter path. Morning frost on Euphemia autumn (October 28)- To clear weather. Will fall on Luke the Hungry (October 31) wet snow on the ground - you can no longer feed yourself from it.
Phenologists have their own observations of natural phenomena. Complete yellowing of the leaves of birch and aspen occurs on average on October 5, in summer oak - on October 6, and in Siberian larch - on October 8. The end of leaf fall for Norway maple is October 12, birch - October 13, gray alder - October 14, aspen - October 18, summer oak - October 20, Siberian larch - October 24. Average monthly temperature this month for St. Petersburg +4.8°C.
K. Leonov, biologist
October. The month begins from the period of golden autumn. If in the first half of October the fox appears in all its golden autumn glory, then from the second half of the month the letters quickly fall, the rains begin to pour, and the ground becomes damp and dirty. That's the name of the month - Muddy.
Golden October: paints on canvas
Description of the golden autumn of October (I - II week)
The most bright time autumn - Golden autumn. Trees before plunging into long sleep, they will sketch gold clothes from rapidly yellowing letters. Autumn forest covered with picturesque paintings. The birch tree shines in the sun, shimmering with gold. A maple tree drops letters with a light wind. November, circling in a round dance, covered with letters with moisture from frequent rains land. The forest paths form a yellow corridor, the water near the shore of the pond is strewn with colorful fallen letters. The trees in the forest are full of the beauty of golden autumn, but the oak was the first to completely crumble and, exposing its dry areas, was the first to prepare for winter.
The wind noisily swirls around November, the last heaps of clouds float in the sky. Thunderstorms no longer occur, and the temperature begins to drop rapidly along with the appearance of thick and lingering precipitation. In the rays of the cool October sun in the sky, which turns blue, flocks of birds rise higher and higher. Flocking in large flocks, they want to go south to the warmth. Many songbirds are already on their way to warmer climes, and starlings and rooks will still be here for some time, and they are already attracted to the flock. The first serious frosts are coming soon
They stock up on food for the animal's wintering. Who doesn't know white nuts? Toads burrow into waterways to sleep under the ice all winter. Perennial herbs have collected all the necessary substances in their roots and bulbs to wait until next spring for new growth. It's warm last days, which are coming, a long female lita is replaced by rain. The good weather of golden autumn, thick clouds and sun will be replaced by clouds and a gray sky curtain. In the meantime, the starlings, already ready to fly, are waiting for the first cold weather and on their way. Following them, feeling early frosts, the rooks and blackbirds will rush to the south.
Golden October in folk calendar
"Father Pokrov, cover the land with snow, and cover me with a bridegroom"
The folk calendar from the crane lita begins the countdown of October - from the first days of October. The sooner the cranes fly, the sooner and harder the first frosts will hit. Following Zosimus, the Astafiev winds will blow in early October, bringing cold air. Again, you can tell about winter by the strength of the wind. Cold wind from the north - to cold, western or eastern winds - to rain, and southern - to prolonged heat. October 7 - Fekla-Zarevnitsa, at night faster days will change. On Sergius - October 8 possible first early snow, and when this happens, then it will be winter from the end of November
Now in the air, just look, the drops of air will change into white snowy dots, although still difficult with water. October 14 is a significant day of the Intercession, changing course from autumn to winter. The first snow may also fall on Pokrov. By winter, of course, it will be even further away, the earth has not cooled down, the snow will not last until winter, and it will quickly be washed away by stormy rain. Now the dry autumn will be replaced by a cool and wet October. The recent rustle of letters will be replaced by wet dirt that sticks. In the villages all preparations for winter are ready, it's time decide your destiny and let the young people play the holiday. October is a month of stormy weddings, bright celebrations and indulgent feasts.
October: turn to cold weather
Description of the second half of October (III - IV week)
Calm, sun-drenched days will be replaced by unexpectedly windy storms and wet, damp rains, and then the sun will shine through again. People used to say - “in the fall there are seven weather conditions in the yard.” If the sun is shining, then the day is clear and clean. Yellow shimmers beautifully deciduous forest against the backdrop of clean cool blue sky. And if the day is charged with rain, then the cloudy day gives off the dullness of autumn sadness
The air in the sun is no longer as warm as in September; in the second half of the month there are much fewer sun rays. Daytime temperatures are approaching cold night temperatures, the soil dries out less and less due to frequent rains, and the average air temperature in October is around +4° C. It gets dark much earlier, and the duration daylight hours decreases noticeably. Until the end of October, night temperatures are possible to drop to 0° C, or even lower, so the first snow falls before the end of the month, but through the ground that has not yet cooled down, the snow melts quickly and often in the air.
The second half of October in the folk calendar
"It's getting colder outside from Tryphon-Palageya"
The Intercession passed and threw snow on the trees. In some places, if the snow didn’t hold on, it melted. The wet letters, which have not yet been burned, fall faster from the trees already under the first wet snow. The wet snow breaks the area with a crunch, tearing off the last remaining leaves. The cracking of trees occurred on Erofei - October 17, when winter dresses up in a fur coat. We didn’t go near the forest that day, we were afraid to meet a devil. There were rumors that on this day the goblin would leave the forest for the winter, break trees with a bang, scare away animals and walk through the ground, leaving the forest empty. The next day, October 18, Kharitini, followed by Denis-Pozimsky. We can assume that on this day you won’t see any more heaps of clouds, and twilight comes earlier. Everything turns day into night faster
Another sign next winter October 20 - Sergius. If the snow on Sergius completely covers the ground, then in a month winter will set in on Matryonya. By the way, people showed interesting ingenuity in storing pickles in times when there were no refrigerators. To preserve the pickled cucumbers, the men hid them near a barrel and lowered them into the river before it was covered with ice. In winter, the water under the ice does not freeze, and the temperature does not drop below +4 degrees, but in the spring we received those barrels. You can't imagine a better storage facility. BEFORE October 21, it is time to prepare felt boots and a fur coat; the first cold weather begins from Tryfon. Here Paraskeva-Gryaznikha is right there, a little more and the whole Mother Earth will be covered with snow
November-Listognoy. It's getting cold. , more and more frequent light rain falls without respite, and the fogs linger. The name of the month is Deciduous, because the trees shed their last leaves. The weather especially seems cold with rain and sleet. Nature is ready for winter. It's about to snow.
November: cloudy days
Description of nature late autumn November (I - II week)
Autumn is becoming more silent and sadder. The time has come for late autumn - the month of November. The sun began to appear very rarely. The cumulus clouds in the sky were replaced by a dull gray film. There was no warmth left at all. There is little snow, and if it does fall, the snow cover is unstable, which makes the weather seem especially cold. Dried grass is crushed by wet snow. A thin ice forms on the water. Either the rain and snow swirl like a whirlwind, or it just rains with a fine drizzle all day long, or even the sun will come out a little and immediately hide behind the rain line.
The trees are almost completely free of leaves; in some places they are still being torn off strong wind a single leaf and carries it in a watery veil. In winter, during cold weather, the bark of trees hardens, providing protection from icy wind, ice and snow. In the forest, now in one place or another you can meet winter guest bullfinch. Along with bullfinches, flocks of redpolls and crossbills arrive in November. Forest animals They are already completely ready for winter, dressed in winter coats, and now the wolf cubs have grown up in the wild forest and the fox runs from tree to tree looking for mice and badgers hidden in their holes for the winter. A wild boar can be heard in the dry forest, cracking its branches as it makes its way to its flock. in winter wild boars They try to stay together, prepare a place for the night from a heap of old leaves. The forest has fallen asleep, but the animals do not sleep; a difficult test of a long winter lies ahead.
November in the folk calendar
“It’s not winter yet before Kazanskaya - it’s no longer autumn from Kazanskaya”
The month of November is harsh and cold in the absence of snow. There is occasional sunshine, but it hardly gives any warmth, and if the wind catches up, it hits you with arctic cold from head to toe. November begins in the folk calendar with the main date November 4 - the feast of the Kazan Icon Mother of God. It’s not the weather right now to work; now we’ll have to sit at home all November and all winter, warming ourselves with the logs we’ve stored until it’s warm enough. On Kazanskaya the puddles freeze, become covered with thin ice, and then Dmitrov’s day arrives - November 8th has arrived. They noted that there was still autumn left before Dmitrov's day. November 10 - Nenila-Lenyanitsa, flax was prepared for the buckle. Nastasya the Shepherd fell on the 11th day of the month, they thanked the shepherds for protecting the sheep all year. Zinovey - November 12 is the holiday of tit birds; bullfinches, goldfinches and many other winter guests arrive in flocks on this day.
Autumn in Russian poetry
Late autumn evokes a sad, thoughtful mood. Sergei Yesenin often wrote poems about love, and even autumn nature, it’s time for some sadness and despondency, I couldn’t stop him. He continued to look for his love in the fall: “Today I am in love this evening.” But nevertheless, Yesenin always praised this time of year, using a variety of phrases and comparisons: “quiet joy”, “golden foliage”, “in pinkish water”.
Golden leaves swirled
In the pinkish water of the pond,
Like butterflies light flock
Freezingly, he flies towards the star.
I'm in love this evening,
The yellowing valley is close to my heart.
The wind boy up to his shoulders
The hem of the birch tree was stripped.
Bunin, Balmont and Pleshcheev, in their poems about autumn, primarily emphasized sadness and boredom. They wrote about the changes that have occurred in nature: leaves are falling, birds are flying south, “the sun laughs less often.” No matter how differently Russian poets view autumn, one thing can be said with certainty: for all of them it was a special time, a time of reflection.
November: welcoming winter
Description of the nature of late autumn November (III - IV week)
Winter is getting closer and closer. The clouds are solid and gray, there is a foggy haze in the air, and in the morning the puddles are covered with crusts of ice. By the end of the month the ponds freeze over completely smooth ice. average temperature October air is 2-3 degrees below zero Celsius. Outwardly, November is a gray and sad month, only the last week November may turn white with freshly fallen snow, which will finally settle firmly on the soil and tree branches.
The water temperature is decreasing and many fish are already burrowing into the mud; catfish, crucian carp, and carp spend the winter in hibernation. During the winter, many floating fish remain in the rivers: perch, ruffe, and pike. By the end of the month, the thermometer has already dropped firmly below zero; all that remains is for snow to fall before winter begins.
And then, suddenly, as they say, snow falls on your head. In a matter of moments, it covers fields, river banks and trees with a white blanket. Everything is shrouded in snow, as if it is becoming warmer and happier from the white flakes slowly falling from the sky. Winter comes slowly and imprisons nature in icy shackles.
The second half of November in the folk calendar
"Fedor Studit - chills the earth"
The people greet winter with fun and holidays - November 14 is Kuzma-Demyan Day, also called Kuzminki Day. Now the rays of the sun are not able to warm. And since already next day- November 15 Akundin day, we started doing housework. The girls wove, spun, embroidered, and the men ground bread. By November 19, winter froze up and bound the ponds and rivers with ice, but already on November 20 - Fedot, they talked about it - on this day the ice rises upon the ice.
Winter inhaled the cold, and suddenly, as if it had stumbled, took a step back - the Mikhailovsky thaw thundered on November 21. The snow that has managed to gain a foothold on the ground is melting, and the roads are dirty and slippery. But this is not for long, Matryona arrives on November 22 and winter shows its strength with might and main, frosts set in. November 25 Fyodor Studit. Those in the know said that if it rains on this day, then there will be a long thaw with mud snow underfoot, and if the snow lies firmly, then the winter will be long and snowy. By November 29, winter is already firmly on its feet, and the time for snowstorms and intensifying frosts is approaching. Winter enters Rus' on a sleigh.
Autumn in Russian painting
The slight sadness of late autumn can be seen in Alexander Stepanov’s landscape “Autumn”: colorless sky, bare branches, faded withered grass. The proximity of winter, loneliness and inevitability - these are the feelings that the work evokes.
(Painting by Efim Volkov “Swamp in Autumn”)
In Efim Volkov’s landscape “Swamp in Autumn” the sky is also uncertain gray, but the mood is completely different. Maybe because there are also images of people and human habitation, which gives life to the picture, makes it life-affirming.
