90 Days from Fog

Have you ever heard the old wives saying 90 days from fog is precipe?
I didn't really pay attention to that saying until we moved to Borderlands. For the past three years I've tracked fog. Last year was almost spot on. The year before wasn't anywhere close to it. The year before that was fairly close.

This year I'm going to track it again. Even if it doesnt' work out this year I'll at least be prepared. Someone mentioned that maybe it's 96 days from fog so I may have to take that into consideration when I count my days from fog.

As my records show it, the following are the dates that we should receive some type of "precipe" be it rain, freezing rain, or snow (using the 90 day method):

October 10
October 19
November 9
November 25
December 8
December 13
December 14


Now I'm not saying that we'll have a blizzard on that day or even get any snow. But it's nice to know that there may be a chance for snow on those days. I'm totally paranoid when it comes to snow, freezing rain, blizzards, etc. I know what you're thinking! Why would I ever live in South Dakota and deal with that type of weather if I don't like it? I'm not really sure other than the land ties me here. Where else can I have my horses, wake up to a beautiful sunrise, and watch the sunset over the horizon? So I guess I'll deal with the weather and consider myself a pretty hardy person.




Check out the seven day forcast. It's not a hard freeze but it does look like the weather is definately pushing towards winter quickly. How sad to say and potentially see winter in Sept/Oct. Oh well. I guess it will help me quicken my pace and get stuff done at Borderlands before winter sets in.

I'm guessing we wont' be having a long fall. So much for relaxing and watching the leaves change different colors and enjoying autumn. I better get in gear and get stuff done.

I'll be keeping an eye on the sky from now on and counting the days when we next see fog!
