The blog topic today is 'weather folklore', I typed in the topic on Google.com and this is what I came up with. I actually found two that I wanted to blog about.
1. Birds on a telephone wire indicate the coming of rain.
This makes sense, but I've never seen it before. The only time I've ever seen birds on a telephone wire is during the summer, when it's hot out. You think that the birds can sense when it's going to rain and GET OFF the wire, because they would probably be electrocuted. I believe that animals can have a sense for the weather, like my mom always says "Look, the cows are lying down, that means it's going to rain." I always just nod and say yeah OK, but I think that's crap. Animals can probably sense it, but I think the cows are probably just tired and want to lay down, damnit!
2. If autumn leaves are slow to fall, prepare for a long, cold winter...
Why does it matter when the leaves fall? It could just be windy or not windy at all and the leaves just don't fall. How can you tell how long or cold a season is going to be by how fast leaves can fall? I just think that's nonsense.
