I have been watching the Yahoo 10 day forecast (which is also the Weather Channel). Unfortunately Yahoo is showing Sun the 29th & Mon the 30th as rainy w/a 40% chance of rain. Hopefully Monday will be the last of the wet stuff

Unless they are describing current weather conditions, meteorologists are often no better than 1-900 number psychics.

I have acquired a black cat bone and will be doing some incantations to ensure good weather for the dragon.

Just looked at this from Tail of the Dragon website. Looks like those bones are working well!

It is looking good MININurse, but I need to do something more to keep the Sunday rains from affecting Midnight on the Dragon. . .

Does anyone have any toe of newt? I'm fresh out! In a pinch I could use some unicorn horn, but that stuff is expensive. . . .

I can't say I like the rain forcast for Sunday, but Fri and Sat look good!

Hey MINIwizard, that was EYE of newt!

Bet that's why you didn't think you had any...you were looking for the wrong thing.

I just checked my pagan conversion chart & tequila may be substituted for toe of newt as long as you eat the worm

DAMN!

Yesterday's weather forecast showed May 3-5 as 80-degree highs & partly sunny; now at 7:40am EST it shows 71-degree highs & RAIN!

Is anyone from that area? Usually the locals know that if it's ______ in ______ it will be that way in their area in a day or two.

I know there's still time for the weather forecast to change again, but I'd also like to track the weather pattern based on the info I've requested in the paragraph just above this one.

my guess is the forcast will change daily. the weather up in the Smokies is quite changable, so plan accordingly. every type of weather can happen in a single day up there.

I live in Knoxville and the weather at the Dragon will be very similar.. I suggest that you keep an eye on a couple of the local TV stations. Their weather reports are pretty good.

This one works well.
