What Weather Will This Year Bring?
ADVERTISEMENT
Well when someone asks me about what the weather is going to be the next day or week I simply tell them this, “There’s only 2 people who know what the weather is going to be, God and Mother Nature and they’re both
‘?!$$ed’ off at us for what we’ve done to the planet.’
Think about it and you tell me that the weather pattern 20 or 30 years ago is the same today. I know the monsoons in the southwest are completely different.
I am not wasting that many onions to find out!!!
I think a lot of the accuracy of weather lore depends on *where* such sayings originated. For instance, the old "red sky at morning" poem was fairly accurate when I lived in New England, but doesn't mean much down South, where red clay in the soil means almost ALL sunrises and sunsets produce a red sky. ;D
My ex-husband was in the Navy and said when they were at sea they dreaded a red sky at morning because ("Red sky in the morning, people take warning".) because that meant they would be encountering some stormy seas. (His ship's captain received the equivalent of a court martial because he endangered the ship and its' crew; what was left of the flag of the USS Trenton, LPD-14, was displayed on the ship aftewards; at least a third of it had been shredded and blown away in the storm that led to the man's court martial.
What about if there's no wind eve or day?
