Somehow i earned a reputation for being able to predict the weather. And i am proud to say that i am almost as good at getting the forecast wrong as most TV weathermen.
First , must remind you that my interest in weather forecasting started when i read about a man in " TheYankee" magazine who became extremely accurate at forecasting the weather in the area where he lived. He did this by watching the behavior of birds, insects and animals, Perhaps i should say the world that surrounded him. Well i was already watching the activities of birds and animals, even observed the foliage of certain trees and shrubs, love to observe clouds, sooooo it only made sense, to take it to the next step. I also included observations from my garden journal, which goes neglected alot, but still contains some information.
Guided to some extent this year, mindful that there were few apples on the trees and have still not found any nuts, just think this could be a mellower winter. My reckoning on the lack of mast in the woods and poor yields from back yard garden is attributed to the almost tropical early summer weather. Nuff said, So far Autumn has been fairly warm and really dry, the remaining days don't seem to be good snow producing weather. Perhaps the snowstorm lovers will be pleased again,or not.
becI say this because most years that the first snowfall comes early, i have noticed that the winter was mild .
At this point, nothing would surprise me. And I will update this if there is reason too. After all the initial Summer prediction was for colder and wetter weather than normal weather...... well DUH!!!!
To quote my favorite backwoods philosifer~~~Anne E. Mosse "All you kave to do to be wrong is to say something that gets proved wrong."
