WEATHER COREFAST

What a freakin' mess is comin' this a-way. I wonder how forecasts were made before doppler radar. I imagine it was one of those things like "if y'all see the full moon turn purple, it means that a storm is a-comin' this a-way." Or maybe simpler: "lookee up there in the sky! It's a-startin' to snow".

Wooden doppler radar satellites. Buckets with hash marks to measure precipitation (although I think that was used; my stupid joke just backfired but fuck that!)

If you see the wind blowing through the trees at such an angle as to show the underside of the leaves, it means that rain's coming. That one is courtesy of Mom.
