Residents of Serpukhov will watch the wind
October 22 in the national calendar is the day of Yakov Studenny: it was believed that from this date noticeably coldens and the earth begins to “cool”.
According to the weather, they judged the next winter: if the first frost fell on Jacob, they waited for the snow season; a clear morning promised several frosty days in a row. Particular attention was paid to the wind: the north foreshadowed fast frosts, and the west - dampness and prolonged rains.
In the villages on this day tried not to leave the laundry to dry on the street – believed that the cold “pulls out” the fabric of the warmth of the house, and the dwelling will become chilly. Important cases were also not started: it was believed that what began on October 22 rarely went smoothly.
