Ways to tell today's weather that don't involve looking outside.

1. The barometric pressure has dropped from what it was last night (when it was raining).

2. The Doppler radar map indicates that this is where the action is.

3. It sounds like squirrels are tap-dancing on the roof.

4. There are no longer any wool socks in my sock drawer.

I send my dog out. If he runs back in quick it is raining! If he stays out the sun is shining, and if he doesn't know whether to come in or stay out it is cloudy.

Funny, our dog also chew holes in our wool socks. ;)

They are. They're thanking you for the nice comfy woollen coats.
