Having a grandfather who was Cherokee gave me early training in the field and a tremendous help in avoiding bad conditions, although there have been notable exceptions. Your article on the history of weather forecasting is great and very well written. The old saw about “Red sky in the morning…..” etc., which is actually a paraphrase from Matthew 16:2-3, is still my first observation on the days weather and it seldom fails me. Definitely enjoyed the article.
