Bird signs forecast early fall and wet winter in Pleasanton
Bob Meyers, longtime service station manager in Pleasanton, trusts natural signs over instruments to predict weather. He points to early southward bird migrations, active ant and squirrel behavior, earlier spider activity, and says the first heavy rains typically arrive in October with the last severe rains by May. He urges people to read nature and Mt. Diablo and notes he has not published an almanac.
