| Weather Dog Wonders whether the doggone weather warrants watching |
We have seen some extreme weather changes here in North Texas. Today (02/01/2011) is a great example; on Saturday, January 29th it was 76 degrees. Early Tuesday morning, February 1st, I awoke to thunder, soon followed by rain, which turned into heavy sleet and frozen rain pelting my bedroom window. A 5 AM check of local news showed the expected closure of Garland ISD due to a thick glaze of ice across all the roads. I told Grant that school was cancelled, he raised two clinched fists in the air from beneath his bed covers, whispered a thankful, "Yes!!" And returned to sleep another five hours. Light snow flurries have continued through the day. Tonight's low temp is forecast to be 9 degrees (wind chill at around -5), a change of 67 degrees in about 50 hours.
These wild temperature changes have everyone around here guessing as to what to expect. But we are fortunate to have a Weather Dog that will tell us the current weather conditions. We simply send Weather Dog outside for a few moments, and upon his return we can determine the meteorological manifestations happening in our neighborhood.
If Weather Dog returns Wet - It is Raining
If Weather Dog's curly tail is straight - It is Windy
If Weather Dog returns with White Spots - It is Snowing
(This phenomena is known as the Inverted Dalmatian)
If Weather Dog Does Not Return - It was a Tornado
 |
| If Weather Dog is Visible at Night - It has Snowed |
Weather Dog will be happy that his pack will hang around the house again tomorrow, as the iced-over streets will keep school closed a second day.
