Hey! Where's my fortune?

Here I am on the 12th day of the Long Range Forecast. 

Are you wondering how much truth will end up in this Folklore Forecast?

Yes..me, too.

I'm a little relieved that I'll only be held to the end of the month for making a post about the weather. It has been some extreme colds for the first of January and I was hoping for a little more weather action(snow). I thought it would make for a little more interest and at least some better pictures but I guess you could say we've been blessed in not receiving the harsh weather that so many folks have dredged through the past week.

In my mind, I thought I would have came up with some wonderful post to end this up with....

not...

The Ole Man bought Chinese food for him and the kids last night since I had to work. There's almost always the leftover fortune cookies (they don't love 'em) so after walking around in the sun outside looking for anything picture worthy and not finding anything; everything is fairly brown. I thought to crack open one of the fortune cookies.

Maybe I would be inspired.

The first cookie stated,"Be yourself and you'll feel at home anywhere." 

It didn't inspire me.

I opened the second cookie and there was no fortune.

I guess I'll have to leave it at that and just give you my forecast.

If everything wasn't brown you'd think it was an early Spring Day! Temperature is reading at 61 and the sun and air has a very warm feel.

If you've been following the Long Range Forecast,

Thank you.

BE BLESSED!

January 7 and the Forecast

Just a quick post for today's forecast followers.

It is fairly warms temperature holding around 52 degrees

but

Lots a' Rain!

Along with the rain we've had the thunder and lightening. 

Folklore states: 

• If you see lightening in the winter expect snow in 10 days. Also, if the first thunder comes from the east, winter is over.I think I have also heard snow in 13 days. 

Snow could make things fun!

Tomorrow will be the last day of the for cast on a daily basis. I' just be post the last of each month. 

That's when will compare and see if there has been any accuracy to this down home forecast.

Feel free to chime in.

Thanks so much for your visit!

BE BLESSED!

Blustery & Cold

January 5th and the Long Range Forecast

This is the kind of day that's not good for much more than snuggling in,

hugging up to the fire, and eating something warm.

The temperature on the thermometer is reading 43.7 right now 

at 4 pm but it was quite icy this morning.

The Ole Man called from work to let me know there was some slick spots around. 

So now what?

A white chicken chili is great on a day like today.

I'm also a bread lover, so slice me off a hunk of  Mozzarella French Toast.

A cup of coffee and a movie and the day is pretty much set.

Thanks for dropping by for the forecast.

What your weather looking like?

Be Careful on your weekend travels

& 

Be Blessed!

January 4, 2014~Long Range Forecast

It's 2:25 pm and nothing but sunny skies!

Temperature is reading 42.4 degrees.

John called in to the radio with this little phrase to forecast the weather:

"If it's clouds upon a frosty morning bad weather is on the way."

 We definitely had that Yesterday... 

Come-on with your own weather folklore..

BE BLESSED

&

Be a Blessing!

January 3, 2014~Long Range Forecast

Oh my word..no pick for today.

It was a whopping 10 degrees coming out of the plant this morning at 7am.

I've been hustling around putting away Christmas and take down decoration

but 

I did take a look at the gauge at 3 pm; it was 35.9 and the sun was shining.

Sun shining with a fairly blustery wind.

Thanks for keeping up with the forecast!

BE BLESSED!

January 2, 2014~The Long Range Forecast

Wow..what a difference a day makes!

There's plenty of clouds and drizzling rain for today.

The temperature is reading 44.9 at 3:00.

It's a great day for sipping coffee and dipping fatback..

Be Blessed!

The Long Range Forecast

I had thought to refrain from Link-ups of a while but as I was listening to WHEO our local AM radio station(1270). They were doing their call in section called Community Conversations when John a regular caller called in with a giggle and said he had the way to tell what your weather will be all year.

Richard said, "Okay, tell us."

John said,"You record the weather for the first 12 days of the year. Then each day should be a reflection of the overall weather for each month; the first day would be January and the second day would be February." 

I thought it sounded fun and wondered how accurate it would be and first thought I would make a post and keep up with it through the year. Then I thought it might be fun for others to join in as well.

I may be the only sort that find fun in such things.

I have set up a little link-up.

Feel free to link-up!

I'm going to chime in January 1-12 and then the last day of each month.

At the end of the year maybe I'll drink a warm cup of cider

and 

have a chuckle or maybe I'll be surprised.
