I think Southern California is the only one of those where it wasn't used.

Shirley, you stole that from Minnesota, The Theater of Seasons.

Turn and look the other way." Top #100776 - 04/29/03 03:01 AM Weather AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 6511 Loc: lower upstate New York Y'all with the predisposition could LIU. But my feeling is this was from Mark Twain characterizing the weather in New England. Top #100777 - 04/29/03 09:03 AM Re: Weather wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 Dear AS: I also remember Mark Twain saying it about New England. But no assurance it was original with him, nor original in New England. A lot of oldtime Yankees thought east wind likely to bring cold and rain. One in my home town believed it so firmly he stayed in bed a week when some kids hitched a string to his weathervane to keep it pointing East. Top #100778 - 04/29/03 03:03 PM Re: Weather Capfka Pooh-Bah Registered: 06/28/02 Posts: 1624 Loc: Utter Placebo, Planet Reebok The weather forecast in Dunedin, New Zealand, used to go something like "if you can see Mt Cargill it's going to rain. If you can't, well, that's because it's raining." It was pretty accurate, too. Top #100779 - 05/08/03 02:27 PM Re: Note for newcomers websafe newbie Registered: 05/08/03 Posts: 48 I appreciated reading this. In the flush of excitement at discovering a web forum where I might actually belong, I PM'd several online folks and included a request to chat on ICQ. Now I feel sort of embarrassed, since it's true that most chatrooms rival the court of Caligula in sheer depravity. Yet that is only the [majority] CONTENT, not the FORM of netconferencing. Anyway, if y'all get to know me, you'll see that I am a websafe person (thus the nick, a play on the term "websafe palette"). Cheers!
