Cold on the Outside, Warn Inside

A photo of our Galileo thermometer that we bought years ago in Oglebay, West Virginia

More attractive than our weatherman! And probably far more accurate!

@calm - Years ago I became very interested in predicting the weather. I bought a book that explained how to build a couple of simple devices for measuring wind speed and direction and pointed out the differences in clouds. I did that for a while and I think I did better than these meteorologists today with all their computers.

We measure temperature by number of balls down !! Lovely details

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - This one can be confusing. The temperature in the area is the lowest ball or 72° F. So in a way it is the lowest on the top.
We've never seen it register above 72°.
