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
