Willow grouse. How can you tell the weather by the behavior of willow
grouse, spruce chicken or ptarmigan in the winter?
Black hills. Do the hills appear black just before the weather
warms in the winter? If so, why?
Inversion. What phenominon causes the tops of the hills and
mountains to appear upside down during a winter cold spell?
Red sky. People say that a red sky at night means good weather
the next day. Red sky in the morning means bad weather during the same
day. Is this so, and why?
Fog. Old timers said if the fog goes up on a summer morning
it will be cloudy all day. If the fog goes down, the sky will be clear
all day. Is this so? Why?
Loon calling. Is there a correlation between the loon calling
and a wind following? In other words, is the loon predicting or calling
for wind?
Sun dogs. What do "sun-dogs" tell you about the weather in the
winter? Does it matter which side of the sun they are on? Is there a difference
between white sun dogs compared to rainbow sun dogs?
Crescent moon. Old timers say that if the moon's crescent is
up like a bowl, there will be more snow that month than if it is sideways.
Does testing prove this out?
Twinkling stars. What do twinkling stars mean regarding the
weather in the winter?
Ring around the moon. What does a ring around the moon mean,
and why is this so?
Fog. Why do the river or open leads in ocean ice produce fog?
Under what conditions is this so?
Beaver feedpile. Is there a correlation between the size of
the beavers' feedpile and the severity of the coming winter? Can the beavers
fortell an early freezeup by completing their feedpile early?
Fireweed. Is there a correlation between the height of fireweed
in the fall and the depth of snowfall the coming winter?
I have an idea now.
How do I present my experiment? Go.
