We've had some bizarre weather this first two weeks of January. The month started out with bigtime storms, tornados and 70+ degree weather, and twice this week we've had thunder storms with lightning. The temperatures have been all over the thermometer; pretty much everyone has either been sick or are sick. Today started out with thunder and lightning and temperatures in the low 60s and right now it's in the low 40s and they're calling for snow tonight. WTF?
Tuesday at work when it was storming, my boss mentioned an old wives tale that I had heard years ago but had forgotten - she said that in January, when you hear thunder, it will snow two weeks from the day you heard the thunder, give or take a few days. Based on those calculations, the Farmer's Almanac, and the Weather Channel, I think the tale might be right. We had hellacious storms on January 2, and they're calling for snow tonight. We had storms again today, and they're calling for snow next weekend. Tomorrow morning, we'll know if the old wives tale was right nor not. I'll keep you posted.
One weather-related note: at the bank this evening, I saw an interesting sight. The weather was cold and rainy. A guy had on shorts, with a big parka and gloves. Go figure.
