December 2nd is the day of remembrance of Saint Obadiah, who is considered a minor biblical prophet.
People called Avdey the Guardian, since it was believed that he was the patron of family well-being and household.
On this day, it was customary to observe domestic and wild animals, and by their behavior the future weather was determined.

Weather signs
The squirrel's molt was used to determine what the coming winter would be like. If the animal molted from head to tail, a warm winter was expected; if the opposite happened, three months of severe frosts and snowstorms were expected.
There were other beliefs, too. If the cattle stuck their noses out of the manger on this day, the weather would change, and if they started butting, snowstorms were expected.
