My father became a weather forcaster when he was around 40 years old.
For all the weather maps he brought home (and there were a number — just the right size for coloring on), I never really figured out this whole weather system thing.
When a high pressure system comes in the low leaves – or is it the other way around? And which one brings the nice weather?
We had a barometer in the house. Dad seemed to know which weather system was on the way just by looking at it. I liked its look because it was framed by a beautiful dark stained wood.
Which may explain why I enjoy wood work more than weather wonders!
