Fog Calendar

No new pics yet. I didn't spend much time outside yesterday. I'm hoping to get some new pics this week.

Everyone laughs at me when I mention my Fog Calendar. It's nothing "official" or anything. But any time there's fog, I'll mark it down. It's an old wives tale that says 90 days from fog is precipe. Some years it comes true and other years it's not even close. Last year was one of those years it wasn't even close. This year, it's almost spot on. Although it has missed a few snows.

Take for example this upcoming snow. We are supposed to get another rain/snow storm sometime next week. Or at least that's what I heard as I was passing through the kitchen on my way out to do chores this morning. They are talking some type of serious precipe next Tuesday/Wednesday.




Looking at my Fog Calendar, I have it written down that 90 days from next Wednesday (March 25th) we had fog. So we'll get snow. :-)




I'm not sure if it works every other year or what. This year the old wives tale is coming true. Last year, not so much. The year before, again almost spot on. Rather odd.


So looking at my Fog Calendar, I have fog written down for the following days:

• Wednesday, March 25th
• Monday, April 27th
• Saturday, May 9th

Now the actual days of major precipe might be off by one or two days. I'm not exactly sure when you start to count the 90 days. But at least this gives a general time frame for potential bad weather.

Call me old fashioned. But I'm sure glad I tracked the fog patterns this year!

The pics are a view from the kitchen window as the pheasants scurry across the driveway. Run little chickens run!
