East Central Nebraska | My late neighbor lady was the queen of weather prediction and wish i would have written her methods down. Here is a few that I remember. Fog needs to lift and not burn off. Rain in 90 days. Unless it gets rained out in 3 days. Bull snake on the road rain in 3 days. (I totally believe in the bull snake) Moon stuff too. She said moon upside down, like a bowl, its catching rain. Moon on its side, its dumping. My favorite is the onions and walnuts on christmas eve and some say new years eve. right before midnight you cut 6 onions in half or walnuts in half, so you end up with 12. Scoop out the middle, pinch of kosher salt and put them on an east window ledge and number each of them Jan thru Dec. You say a prayer and go to bed. In the morning some will be wet and some will be dry resembling how that month will be. The guys next town over from me have a contest and meet every month to discuss their predictions. (good way to go to the legion to drink) LOL. One of the guys doing this told me that super wet months will have a half of onion with water spilling over the top. His words. Maybe santa spilled his milk. My old neighbor lady swore by onion method. And interesting enough last friday on 840 radio out of west point Ne, the state climatologist was on and they asked her about the fog question and she said, that she has heard that too and she believes that they fully don't understand weather and lots of folk lore probably has some truth to it. | |
