I saw this fun weather predictor in a store last week and was tempted to buy it. We all need something to predict the weather, don't we? How do you predict the weather? Do you have any tips and tricks?

Being a biker I only worry about rain At end of our road there is a field Cows live in it. So I look at the field If they are laying down it will rain. That's all I need to know

We have the "hillbilly" version of that here in the Ozarks... They're funny and more accurate than the weathermen/women on television, usually.

I guess it's a very logical and rational observation

Sometimes I think this string would be as accurate as our weather forecasters.

That's cute. I've seen it before. I have an app on the TV that gives me a 7 day forecast and radar. I use that all the time.
