I was sitting at my computer reading RFF when I heard a sound on the roof like rain. I switched immediately to the National Weather Service and looked at the radar. Yep. It was raining. Didn't occur to me until fifteen seconds later that I could have looked out the window...

Perhaps you need to buy a Barnack camera and shoot only Adox 25 for a week or two.

I knew some Marines that worked in the weather section at El Toro, They worked in a bunker with no windows.

Ah, the FIRST rule of weather reporting is LOOK OUT THE FREAKING WINDOW! 😱 😀 😀

the weather rock.

suspend rock from a tripod with string.
1. the rock is cold = it's cold
2. the rock is hot = it's hot
3. the rock is off center in the tripod = it's windy
4. the rock is wet = it's raining
5. the rock is cold, white and wet = it's snowing
6. the rock cannot be seen = it's foggy OR it is NIGHT TIME

I listened to a radio weather report some years ago that makes you sound absolutely sane. The weather reporter came on and admitted that he had not yet received the "official" weather report and so could not discuss the forecast. The news reporter asked him why he didn't just look out the window and report on what he saw. But the weather reporter responded that he was not permitted to deliver any forecast but the "official" one. So the news reporter changed tactics and began to ask the weather guy what he wore to work that morning, whether or not he brought an umbrella, whether he was planning to walk home that evening, ect... We got the forecast by inference.

Down here in Texas we don't have to watch the weather report or look out the window to see if it is raining.

We know it's raining when we hear the the dust slurping..

Bad Religion comes to my head right about now:

and he's a 21st century digital boy/he don't know how to live but he's got a lot of toys...

That's funny 🙂
Of course, we here in Phoenix don't worry about checking the weather - it's always sunny to scorching...

John-
I recommend that you pay penance to the intel free life by forcing yourself to tinker with photographing rainbows on B+W film 'til you know how to render them convincingly.
Thinking of that, maybe I would too.
Photographing rainbows is a place 20mm and wider lenses excel- the whole thing will fit in the frame.
