But this year, it's hard to miss the massive number of acorns raining down on the New England landscape. From backyards in Northampton to city streets in Providence, many oak trees appear to be producing a healthy - if not record-breaking - crop of the nut.

Same in California, we've got massive amounts of acorns this year. When it rained last month acorns were actually clogging street drains in some places.
