Would a lizard work I found one on the living room floor today, courtesy of one of our cats. I can find a fence to hang it on
If not I'll send them out after a snake

Lizards won't work . You could try dancing the in front yard in some speed-o's, but you gotta yell real loud so the neighbors come running for it to work.

They may be smart but my tighty-whitey dancing in the yard yesterday, not only brought the neighbors around it may have also brought some rain. There is some heavy dew falling from the sky right now

Last nite, looking a weather underground, NEXRAD showed some of the tops of thunderstorms to be in excess of 45,000 feet! WOW! Over eight miles up. Also showed a 100% possibility of hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter. That would put a dent in the top of the old wood hauler. Of course most of it melts on the way down. Imagine throwing a hard snowball for eight miles.

Okay. Lemme put a stop to this one. You need to make a small investment into a weather-rock. Here is how to build one:

Make a tripod out of timbers. Lash the ends together or use some duct tape. Suspend a giant bolder from the center of the tripod, much like a pot would be hanging over a campfire.

How to use:
1. If the rock is wet, it is raining.
2. If the rock is hot and dry, the sun is out on a hot day.
3. If the rock is covered in snow, it is snowing...

This is the only way to truly know the weather...

Weather rock only reports the current weather conditions, it doesn't predict them. Not much better than Doopler 5000, but it doesn't have to have an internet connection to work.

Hooties were hooting yesterday - no rain today. And they were hooting today - rain tommorow or the next day perhaps.?.

It's hard to read a hooty owl but they do seem pretty accurate at perdicting changes in the weather. Plus they are great at keeping the snakes down, kind of cool if you think about it...

Wonder if I could build a hooty owl house? I would name it hooters

We have been getting hot sun and then rain. So how does the Hooty decide what a "change" is? Main ones I have been hearin' here have been the Great Horned variety down in the swamp, and they hoot most every night.
Go

They hoot every night because this is NC. If you don't like the weather wait a day it will change
