Cloudy and mild
Good Morning Augusta.
This morning it is mostly cloudy, then overcast. High of 45F. Winds from the
NNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight it will remain mostly cloudy with a chance of snow after midnight.
Low of 28F. Winds from the NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 20%.
The readings outside right now, taken from my own weather instruments:
a relative humidity of 49% with a Dew Point of 21.2ºF.
The temperature is 38.2ºF with a wind chill of 34.9ºF.
Presently we have North Northeast winds between 6.5 mph and 11.6 mph,
increasing during the day.
Our Barometric pressure is 29.88 and rising with a weather graphic
indicating sun.
We had no precipitation overnight here.
Visibility is 10.0 miles with a few clouds at 5,500 feet and mostly cloudy
to 7,500 feet. Otherwise we have a great ceiling. .
Can rabbits predict the weather?
From the Farmer's almanac:
Quick, think of an animal that can predict the weather! If you thought of a
groundhog, chances are you're not alone. Here in North America, Groundhog
Day is a big deal. But there are plenty of other animal forecasters out
there, too. Crickets, birds, fish, cows, deer, squirrels, caterpillars, and
even dogs and cats have all been at the center of various weather lore
sayings.
But what about rabbits? When Easter rolls around, bunnies abound. And we
know Easter means spring. In fact, the whole reason we associate Easter with
bunnies is because, to the ancient Germanic people who once inhabited
Europe, rabbits were symbolic of spring and new life.
Here are a few weather sayings surrounding rabbits:
• When hares seek shelter in lowlands, snow is on the way.
• Rabbits go to the woods before a severe storm.
• Note the day of the month when the first snow of the year that's deep
enough to track a rabbit falls. This will tell you how many deep snows will
fall that season.
• When rabbits are fat in October, winter will be long and cold.

• A green Christmas means a white Easter.
• If it rains on Easter, it will rain for the next seven Sundays.
