The Perfect Backyard Weather Station
Everyone complains about the weather, even me. Although, I have a bit more tolerance than most for a couple of reasons: one, never complain or worry about things you cannot control; two, donot put all your eggs in one basket with the local weather guys. There is a better forecast from the National Weather Service, which the weathermen take their cue and add their spins. But the best forecaster that I have found is in a pole with a piece of tube or metal bolted to it. From the metal is hung a string with a stone suspended in a string sling. A sign near by list in one column the conditions and in the second column the forecast. It is basically 99% accurate.
conditions forecast
stone is wet rain
stone is dry not raining
shadow on ground sunny
white on top snowing
can not see stone foggy
swinging stone windy
stone jumping up and down earth quake
stone gone tornado
This way, you know for sure! Happy Forecasting.
