August Fogs Can Forecast The Winter's Weather?

If you like winter weather or even thinking of winter in the summertime, this blog is for you.  Last night, right before the new episode of "Under The Dome" on CBS4, there was a repeat of "Mike & Molly".  It was a Christmas episode complete with a Christmas carol, decorations, and snow!

Back on August 1st, the foggy weather made me mention folklore on "CBS4 News This Morning".  According to folklore, "For every fog in August, there will be a snowfall."

This was the view from our SkyCam early Tuesday morning as visibilities started to improve from dense fog.

In the first six days of August 2013, we had fog on four of those mornings!

And, while I'm talking about folklore, here's another one: "If the first week in August is unusually warm, the coming winter will be snowy and long."

If that's the case, could we be having another easy winter like most of the winter of 2012-2013 was since temperatures in the Quad Cities for the first five days of August are running 5.1° below average!

For now, enjoy the summer heat and humidity that is expected later today!
