Eric Sloane's Weather Almanac

Mr. Sloane writes a week by week review noting how the seasons and the weather change as the year goes by. Mr. Sloane also notes how the weather affected early American life by the things he sees and finds while restoring his 1782 Connecticut home. The author rambles at times which simply adds to the interest of the book and gives some insight into the author's life. Also included is some weather folklore, and the scientific background to prove or disprove some of the old sayings. An interesting and easy to read book, a must have for anyone interested in weather or early American life.
