Brrrr....!
The tri-state is still largely buried under snow and suffering through below freezing temperatures. Winter Storm Blair really kicked our butt, but I'm lucky to say that I've been safe and warm at home, with plenty to eat and plenty to keep me occupied.
More snow could be coming Monday, but the forecast keeps changing. As of right now, it doesn't look like it'll be much, but this weekend could be another story. Sometimes I think that the meteorologists trying to predict these snowstorms, as well as many other weather-related events, would be just as much, if not MORE accurate if they stopped using fancy DOPLER radar and other technology and just went back to basics (basics in this case meaning something a little different).
In this photo, found on the Talking Board Historical Society website, two members of the United States Weather Bureau use a Magic 8 Ball and a Ouija Board. The photo is dated 1965. Maybe these two just got bored on the job and wanted to play a parlour game. Maybe they thought their station was haunted and wanted to connect with the spirits therein. Or, maybe...they were using these tools to predict what Mother Nature had in store for us all!
