This is Vanese Ferguson with Coffee Talk. The wild weather ride continues. In Shaunavon there was thunder and lightning Tuesday night. It felled a pretty significant tree. By the end of day yesterday the Swift Current area, one of the regularly balmy regions of the province, had seen at least 15 centimetres of snow. And then there’s the fog. We were chatting in the newsroom yesterday about not being able to recall so many days with fog in the past. I’d even say last year, instances of fog, anecdotally speaking, seem to be occurring more often. But that ramped up even more this year. Some of the Old Wives Tales around fog include for every fog in August, there will be a snowfall in winter. People used to and still believe that if you count how many foggy mornings occur during August, that number will equal how many times it will snow in the upcoming winter. Or the one I heard growing up was a fog means it’s going to rain in 90 days. Well, For the amount of fog we’ve had this winter, if any of those prove true it’s not going to be a very sunny spring. All I know is I can’t wait for Gardenscape and the lovely smell of soil and flowers that is still at least two months away.
Does fog portend a rainy spring?
