Instructions for Newfie weather rock

put Newfie weather rock outside

 

If the rock is wet, it's raining.

If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing.

If the rock casts a shadow, the sun is shining.

If the rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy.

If the rock is not visible, it is foggy.

If the rock is white, it is snowing.

If the rock is coated with ice, there is a frost.

If the ice is thick, it's a heavy frost.

If the rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake.

If the rock is under water, there is a flood.

If the rock is warm, it is sunny.

If the rock is missing, there was a tornado.

If the rock is wet and swinging violently, there is a hurricane.

 

 

Always 100% right!

How do you tell the difference between a tornado and fog though? LOL

They were bang on for my area last night, both with the amount of snow and the time it would start and stop. They also said we'd get some sun this afternoon and that's exactly what we have right now.

 

Course it's not very often that happens :lol:

Can't believe the whine that you didn't get as forecast... come shovel my 20+ cm of wet mashed potatoes! Here's a road shot outside my gate this morning..

We definitely got more than enough snow last night but that is the norm around here. Nothing special about that.

We only got 5" over here but it's about 4 degrees right now so it's really heavy, but the good thing is it's melting too. I've got a gravel driveway and cleared it a couple hours ago and most of it is bare now.

 

Big Cliff is over on Sturgeon and he said they got 6-8" so you should be somewhere in between.

Got out and cleared mine before it got too warm so it was still nice and light. Then the wind came up and drifted a lot of it back in. It has warmed up enough now that it isn't drifting any more and things are starting to melt again. I sure hope this is the last of it though!

In a Tornado, there is a good chance the rock will be through your window.

Thanks Guys.

 

I'm hoping for a slow melt.

Sposed to be cool for the next few days around here but then climbing to about +6 by next weekend and staying like that for awhile, so that should get some melting happening.

 

Hope it doesn't cause any damage to your place.

Minus temps all next week over night, and warmer day time. Lets hope it,s a slow melt for those that can get hit heavy with flooding.

 

Sure glad I live on top of the hill.
