It’s only 500PM as of this writing, but it’s already dark here in Jersey City. Forecasts say that it’s going to rain for the rest of the day. You probably can hear the wind blowing hard right now.

Do you need weather.com or TV to tell you the weather?

This is old science, but one can predict the weather by observing the birds — pigeons for example. I noticed the pigeons this afternoon flying around Journal Square instead of sitting and chilling on the edge of Martin Luther King, Jr School, so I took a snap using my phone.

Despite the bad weather today, tomorrow (October 26, 2008) will be the exact opposite. We will experience sunshine, with temperature hovering between high 40’s and low 60’s.

Take care if you are going outside! (Watch for the trees!)
