CNN's article on the disappearance of Acorns this year
Sorry If this has already been posted here somewhere. Here is a link to an article concerning the lack of acorns this year on the east coast, and other states.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/12/12/acorn.shortage/index.html
It mentions Virginia as being hit hard, but what is really weird where I live in VA (south east) we had a ton of acorns this year...more than normal in my area actually..
I also read a diff article that mentioned Germany as being affected as well..this is really weird..
Could this maybe explain the poor seasons some are having?
I also wonder if this will effect the deer population in these areas...the article mentions squirrels, but we all know deer love em as well..
pretty scary

Here in NW Ohio this is the most acorns I've ever seen... not sure if it had to do with wet first half of summer and then no rain for July/Aug/Sept.? I've got some happy squirrels and deer in our area!
