Old Wives Tale

For the longest time, I used to track fog patterns. When we had El Nino, it was pretty spot on with the old wives' tale (90 days from fog, you'd get "precip").  In our neck of the woods, that meant SNOW.


But El Nino passed and we had La Nina for a long time and the old wives' tale didn't stand true. So I sort of only half paid attention to it lately because the weatherman said we were in a La Nina instead.


Well, no matter what pattern we are in, I think we are back to the old wives' tale being true.


The weatherman has been predicting rain for the past week (much to my dismay). There was even talk of snowflakes (and I SURE HOPE they are wrong!) But I just happened to be looking at my calendar and I have fog written down for Monday. That meant 90 days from this past Monday, we had fog. It's not 100% accurate but with my note of fog and rain in the forecast, I think maybe I can track the snowstorms that plan on blowing in this winter. Fingers crossed that I can track it. Knowing that I have a week or two to plan for a snowstorm to get stuff down outside, is very hand!


But fingers crossed there's no rain this Saturday!
