Fogs in August - Meticulous records of father proved method Climate change may be affecting system today By Joyce M. Coomer Couldn't find what I had posted last year about fogs in August relating to snows in winter. My father kept very good weather records on the calendars. He wrote down each day the temp at 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m., whether or not it was rainy and how much rain we received, etc. He also kept a meticulous record of fogs in August. Fogs were recorded, not only by when they occurred, but the density of the fog and what time the fog burned off in the mornings. Each week of August was roughly correlated to a month or so of winter, which my father generally considered to be from the middle to end of November to the end of March -- what used to be the normal "winter" season in this area. The heavy fogs were predictors of heavy snows, and the longer it took the fog to burn off in the morning, the longer the snow would stay on the ground. Light fogs were predictors of flurries or skiffs of snow that didn't accumulate much or melted quickly. This method of predicting snows and their accumulation and duration was more accurate than the weather forecasts in the newspaper. However, with the weather patterns so different now than they were 50 years ago, I don't know if this would be as accurate nowadays. - Joyce M. Coomer This story was posted on 2013-08-02 11:13:14
