While working on a utility project in the Southern Sierra Nevada, our crew flew into Kern Valley Airport, a public airport located in the Kern River Valley.
At the airport, there is an old-fashioned, amusing sign with a rock hanging from a rope below it
The sign reads:
Pilots Weather Forecasting Stone
- Stone is Wet – Rain
- Stone is Dry – Not Raining
- Shadow on Ground – Sunny
- White on Top – Snowing
- Can’t See Stone – Foggy
- Swinging Stone – Windy
- Stone Jumping Up and Down – Earthquake
- Stone Gone – Tornado
The stone was swinging when the helicopter arrived. Sounds legit!
