April 6 - Weather Lore, Weather Reality
Don McCasland, Blue Hill Observatory Science Center
Red Sky at night, six weeks of winter, wooly caterpillars. After a sunny Ground Hog Day, how many years was it cold and snowy or warm and drier? Are there any truths to these old expressions? Join Don McCasland of Blue Hill Observatory Science Center and learn how professional meteorologists and weather observers perceive the weather lore expressions. He will draw on 126 years of weather observations to tell us if any of them hold true.
