I have learned by older friends, in a new moon if it looks tipped as a cup pouring out water it will precipitated in the next 72 hours ( I never seen this one wrong) and watch the trees, the leaves only turn over if it will rain and the bark of the trees tell the winter. Thin bark is mild winter thick bark is colder winter and spongey bark is wet winter. I have been watching trees for the most of 40 years. The trees seem to be reliable.
