‘Voyage’ has also broken the record for biggest opening week, a title previously held by Ed Sheeran’s ‘Divide’ which was released in March 2017.

The Old Farmers Almanac has a great article about winter weather lore. You know, clouds, birds, animals and plants all provide clues. No scientific fact, but there are some small truths at some of their cores.
Watch the animals, “When you see a beaver carrying sticks in its mouth, it will be a hard winter—you better go south.” If skunks are overly fat, a cold winter is coming. When squirrels are scarce in autumn, it indicates a cold winter but if you see chipmunks in December, it will be a mild winter. If squirrels stash their nuts high in the trees, the snow will be deep. “When squirrels early start to hoard, winter will pierce us like a sword.”
Plants can foreshadow weather as well. Plants were often used as weather predictors.
Tough apple skins or thick onions skins meant a rough winter
When it came to flower buds, “Look for a heavy winter coat if the buds have heavy coats.”
When corn husks are thicker and tighter than usual, a cold winter is forecast.
