The study of popular weather prognostics has been considered of such interest that much attention has been given this subject by European meteorologists. It is proposed to make the collection as complete as possible, and, with this in view, it is requested that all popular weather sayings not found in this collection may be communicated to the Chief Signal Officer of the Army. It is proper to add that the weather forecasts of this office are not based upon the proverbs here given, but wholly upon observations and generalizations accepted by meteorologists.
