Weather Proverb

In winter, when pigs rub up against their pens, it is a sign of a thaw.

KNOW YOUR CLOUDS!

Stratocumulus clouds are masses of puffy clouds with little or no space in between. A sky full of stratocumulus clouds indicates dry weather if the difference in temperature between night and day is only a few degrees. For more clouds, click here: Go
WORD OF THE WEEK

RAINBOW

Rainbows are formed opposite to the sun by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in drops of falling rain. The raindrops are responsible for the colors of rainbows. They break the sunlight up into the full spectrum of colors, each drop acting as a sort of miniature prism. When millions of raindrops gather, the spectrum shows up as distinct bands of color -- each with a different length. Red is the longest and violet the shortest band.
