In ancient times, Fedotov's Day was considered the time when winter finally came into its own.
Today it is important to get rid of doubts and show determination.
Dreams on the night before this day were considered prophetic and warned of possible difficulties.
If the ice on the rivers is already strong by November 20, the winter will be frosty and snowy.
If winter birds such as tits and sparrows begin to fly towards houses, this is a harbinger of an imminent cold snap.
Clear weather on this day predicted severe frosts at the beginning of December.
If it snows, the winter will be snowy and long. It also promises a good harvest next year.
On November 20, one should not show cowardice and indecisiveness. If a person acts with doubt, he will not be able to achieve his goal for a long time.
