Eric Sloane's Weather Almanac

'Eric Sloane's Weather Almanac' combines two classic, long out-of-print Sloane volumes, Eric Sloane's Almanac and Weather Forecaster (1955) and Folklore of American Weather (1963). Readers will learn weather forecasting tips such as which winds bring what kinds of weather, how to 'read' clouds, how to foretell the weather by the moon, and more. Also included is fun climate lore such as old-time Americana sayings about when sap is running and why you should dig your well where lightning has struck. Before Eric Sloane became famous for paintings and books, he was one of the top weather experts in the US and wrote several books on the subject for the US Navy.
