Excerpt from Signal Service Notes, Vol. 9: Weather Proverbs
The study of popular weather prognostics has been considered of such interest that much attention has been given this subject by European meteorologists. It is proposed to make the collection as complete as possible, and, with this in view, it is requested that all popular weather sayings not found in this collection may be communicated to the Chief Signal Officer of the Army. It is proper to add that the weather forecasts of this office are not based upon the proverbs here given, but wholly upon observations and generalizations accepted by meteorologists.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of weather prediction, exploring the age-old practice of using natural signs and folklore to forecast upcoming changes in the atmosphere. The author embarks on a journey through a collection of popular weather proverbs and sayings gathered from diverse sources across the United States, including observations from Indigenous communities, farmers, sailors, and other weather-sensitive individuals. Rooted in a time when scientific instruments were limited, this compilation reflects the accumulated wisdom of generations who relied on keen observation of the natural world. Animals, plants, celestial bodies, and atmospheric phenomena like clouds and wind patterns served as indicators of impending weather shifts. The book examines these traditional beliefs and assesses their accuracy in light of modern meteorological understanding. By juxtaposing folklore with scientific explanations, the book unveils the connections between natural signs and actual weather patterns. Readers will gain insight into the underlying meteorological principles that validate some of these age-old sayings while debunking others.
