Many persons still do not understand the
weather signals and we will explain them
again. A white flag indicates clear or fail
weather and blue one snow or rain. A
white and blue flag says you may expect 10.
cal rains, and if 1t be white flag with q
black square IN the center Won may expect
frost. The triangular black flag refers to
weather. When placed above any of the
others it means warmer weather, but il
pleced below. the weather is apt to turn
cooler. But it is always safer to wait and
realize what the weather is than rely on
these signals, for they are more frequently
incorrect than truthful prognosticators Of
the condition of the atmosphere.
