I saw a water gall about 5:45 tonight. The old-timers used to say that means rain within two days. Anybody else ever hear that one?
BTW - There's a 40% chance of rain predicted by the weather professionals.

Water gall...more old-timer weather

Glad I'm not the only one who has no idea what we are talking about here.

It's a small patch of refracted sunlight (rainbow) that occasionally appears in thin clouds. The old timers said it meant rain would come within two days following.
Maybe this notion wasn't as widespread as I thought. But if you Google "water gall" you get this definition.

I've always heard the same thing. I thought it was more common as well.

Never heard of that one but my grandfather told me a ring around the moon at night meant rain within 5 days. I've yet to see that not be true.

I was told cloudy, grey skies with high humidity usually, at least 50%, of the time meant rain, somewhere.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

It did rain a bit in Florence today - enough to require the windshield wipers a few times - but the official tally at the airport so far is only a trace. Not sure if that validates the old timers' water gall theory, or not.

I take an PLB in the shower with me. Can't ever be too safe.

When a kid's knees are clamped together and their heels are pointed outward with the toes touching it means they have to piss.
