backyard forecasting
Cues:
- pink in the night, shepherds delight
- stratus spit small droplets (water droplets that slowly became too big and heavy). Cumulus spit big droplets (ice cristals that then fall)
- small snowflakes mean the humidity is low, which is a sign of colde, and so they'll stick. Big snowflakes mean hot and they won't last
- due or frost in the morning means low humidity and good weather
- the darkest the cloud the thickest it is the highest the chance of rain.
- flowers closing
