Time-tested weather sayings
John Schlageck clr.tif
For the first time last week a touch of fall filled the early morning air. With the coming of autumn and approach of winter, it’s fun to recall some of the time-tested weather sayings.Many of the following weather signs were collected while talking to farmers and ranchers across the state. It seems there is very little people would rather talk about than the weather.So let’s talk weather.Clear moon, frost soon.Dense fog at dawn is a sign of clearing skies by mid-morning.The absence of birds around water denotes an approaching storm.White, fluffy, small clouds are a sign of fair weather ahead.During the winter season, strong northerly winds indicate snow and sometimes a blizzard within 24 hours.
