What Kind of Winter Will It Be?

This is the first woolly bear caterpillar we have seen this year.  It is one of the biggest I have seen but will it accurately predict the winter?  

According to legend, the wider that middle brown section is (i.e., the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter. But is it true? 

I am not even certain if this is a wide or a narrow brown band.
