Common weather lores employed in forecasting what's to come
Have you never noticed seagulls huddled together on the shore? Have you seen many mushrooms around this year? The Weather Network reporter Nathan Coleman breaks down four common myths that have been used in an attempt to predict the weather.
Have you never noticed seagulls huddled together on the shore? There is a well-known lore that says when seagulls sit on the sand, it's never good weather when you're on land.
Remember waterbeds? Well, seagulls don't need them because they generally sleep on the water. If you see them huddled and napping on the land, the lore implies an indication that the seas are too rough for a good night's sleep.
Have you seen many mushrooms around this year? As the expression goes, "mushrooms galore, much snow in store. No mushrooms at all, no snow will fall." If you're picking lots of them, you're in for a heap of snow, so you better save them for some hot cream of mushroom soup, according to the myth.
