So, I know this isn't necessarily science, but I always look for these kind of signs as winter weather predictions. My grandfather used to tell me these things, he was a farmer, so he always looked at things like this. Feel free to add your favorite.


I've always heard that if ant hills are high in July, then the Winter will be snowy.


If the first week in August is unusually warm, the coming Winter will be snowy and long.]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:15:20 +0000 http://www.talkweather.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55257-winter-weather-folklore/ http://www.talkweather.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55255-jet-contrails-and-sundog-timelapse-to-music-video/

Kinda cool to see how the jet contrail evolves as the sundog sets. More amazing to me is how long the the contrails linger. You can also see the shadows the contrails cast on the clouds below them.

Various time lapses.

On average each 10 second segment represents about 1 1/4 hour in real time in this 3 1/2 minute video

Quite a bit of activity can be seen when speeding up mother nature. Seeing the "bouncing action" of the clouds I found quite fascinating!

"For example, I see 2010 seasonally this way for North America - these are general guidelines from my astronomical calculations on our nation's long-range climate next year -

*Winter 2010 - early - active, done by March 2010

*Spring 2010 - early - active, flooding, warmer than normal. My biggest concern is the potential flooding of the Mississippi in early Spring 2010. For more, see my forecast below.

*Summer 2010 - early, hotter than normal, but a short summer. It seems to zip right by, coming early in May 2010 like it did - so that after the first 10 days of August, one should be able to detect a "late September-like chill" in the air in the August nights. By mid-September, for certain, brisk autumn like days, with cooler than average temperatures felt across a third of the country. It appears that summer isn't going to stick around for long, and there are wetter months ahead, more than usual for the strange fall season of 2010 just ahead.

**Fall 2010 - the season starts off with what "appears" to be another early Indian summer, but then Fall turns into a very wet, extended, and warmer-than-normal season w/ tropical air, torrential rains. This is going to be a longer-than-normal fall season that extends right into January 2011."

This was written in July 2009. I can't say that it verified-especially the short summer . . .

SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES EXPECTED IN THE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS

COULD SEE PW VALUES GO BELOW ONE INCH OVER OUR

WILL LIKELY MIX DOWN INTO THE 60S...OR EVEN 50S...BEHIND THE
FRONT.


This is what ABC 33/40 said today :

While a front does sag into the area, there will not be an air mass change so the heat and humidity will stick around, too.

I can't decide which is worse the persistent heat this year, or the many extremes of 2007. As miserable as this summer has seemed I guess overall 2007 was worse. At least the persistent heat has not completely clamped a lid on the rain like it did for everybody then. Pretty amazing how two similarly persistent highs can behave differently in their interactions with rain.]]> Sat, 21 Aug 2010 21:04:15 +0000 http://www.talkweather.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55120-how-many-days-in-the-90s-for-you/ http://www.talkweather.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55106-im-going-to-chimney-rock-and-mt-mitchell-on-saturday/
I'm hoping that its clearer up there this year so that I can see more, but I'm not counting on it. From what I understand, it's rarely clear up there.

Just wanted to let anyone in the Dalton/Chattanooga area know about a weather position opening up locally at our local station. We do a Newswatch 10 program every weeknight. I have had the privedlege of working here and building up a pretty fast spreading weather program at the station. So much so that now as I am getting ready to check out another opportunity the need is actually there to fill a position that never used to be here. For more info just ask me on here or PM me one but basically they are looking for someone who would be in a 30 minute drive or so of the Dalton,GA area. This would be a part time position so not a lot of pay. We do have some small benefits. The position is open to basically any local weather buffs who has a decent amount of weather knowlege and would like to have an opportunity to give forecasting a try on the air to a decent amount of viewers. We have been forced to take weather coverage more seriously due to the increased viewer ship during times of severe weather so you would get a lot of experience with that. This of course is not a network job but I know we have a lot of very knowlegable weather peeps on here who would like to have some tv forecasting chances in the local area so If you would like more info feel free to ask.

Thanks, Hope all are having a great summer!
