In the NPF there will be no weather man to tell us the weather. No 5 day forecast. What you look out the window and see is what you get. I have been wanting a weather station, but I want one of the ones with the wind speed and wind direction spinners. They are are digital. Which is no good in the NPF. I’d like to get a weather vane.
At a thrift store I found a weather station like my grandfather used to have. It cost $5.00. It has three dials: temperature, pressure and humidity. The humidity is worthless in the summer because my house has a swamp cooler which uses water to cool the air. So it is not the real outside humidity. The pressure dial has a mark on the cover so you can set it and see if the pressure is going up or down. It would be cool if they all did. My oldest son likes to set the mark.

I think in the NPF we will be more attuned to the weather because we will be spending more time outside growing food and caring for food animals. I read an article about loggers in the wood feeling the change in temperature as a cold front came through.
