El Nino

If you've been a reader of this blog for very long, you'll know that I follow weather patterns. What can I say, I'm a nerd. I'm weird and believe in old wives tales, including the 90 days from fog is precipitation tale.

Of course the weatherman has been wrong up until yesterday when he said that rain would start at 2pm. Sure enough, the skies opened and it started raining at 2pm. They were wrong the weekend before when they called for rain and we didn't get a drop. But that's a whole other story.

But what I'm getting at is, maybe the weathermen are starting to get it right because we are shifting back into an El Nino pattern (or so I've heard). If that's the case, the old wives tale of 90 days from fog is precipe. If that's so, we had fog yesterday so come September first(-ish), we'll get some type of moisture. I'm figuring that the first of September means we'll get some type of rain. But starting in August and September I'll start watching the skies (and ground) a little closer for fog. If we are truly in an El Nino pattern, we will hopefully be able to track the weather a little closer.

Here's to hoping this year (the year of the horse) is also an El Nino year, so we can plan ahead for bad weather.
