In checking out cablet from wwh's "c" list--well, one of 'em--I came across a cool site for seamanship. Here are standardized letters for indicating weather--and, Faldage, are you familiar with these?: Letters to denote the State of the Weather b denotes Blue Sky-whether with clear or hazy atmosphere c Cloudy-i.e. Detached opening clouds d Drizzling Rain f Fog F Thick Fog g Gloomy Dark Weather h Hail l Lightning. m Misty or Hazy-so as to interrupt the View. o Overcast-i.e. the whole sky covered with one impervious cloud. p Passing Showers. q Squally. r Rain i.e. Continuous Rain, s Snow. t Thunder. u Ugly threatening appearance in the weather. v Visibility of Distant Objects-whether the sky be cloudy or not. w Wet Dew. e Under any letter denotes an Extraordinary Degree. By the combination of these letters all the ordinary phenomena of the weather may be recorded with certainty and brevity. The site is well worth investigating: http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/B_S_M/First_Instruction.html#Wind Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Weather by Letters/Numbers #103279 12/29/03 12:50 AM Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 6,296 Piedmont Region of Virginia, U...

I going back over some of wwh's unresponded to posts, I found one of my own--and just entertained myself all over again by looking at the weathered letters. Will send this back up front again in case some of the new people might like taking a look at these. And, Faldage, you never did answer my question. Did you ever come across these when you were in the Navy?
