Morning after the snowstorm...

We got a bit more snow and a storm that lasted longer than predicted yesterday. Today the sky was clear and sunny but pretty chilly in the single digits when I went out this morning.

...and I found another cute weathervane....

New England Weathervanes...

What do the Vikings, the Greeks, the Pope, and George Washington have in common? They have all helped to contribute to the curious and colorful history of our modern weathervanes.

Weathervanes get their name from the Old English fane, which means flag or banner. Weathervanes also go by the name of "wind vanes." Weathervanes are one of the oldest forms of weather prediction. Weathervanes are mentioned in the ancient writings of Mesopotamia, from over 3500 years ago. The Chinese also talk about strings or flags being used to read wind direction in writings dated to the 2nd Century B.C.
I have started a collection of weathervane photos.
There are some interesting weathervanes out there...
