Purpose of the site
Old Sky Rules is a browser-side collection of traditional weather lore, sky-reading cues, and seasonal pattern heuristics. It is intended for general informational and convenience use only, to help campers, gardeners, outdoor workers, and weather-curious people explore low-tech ways of anticipating weather.

You are responsible for evaluating the suitability of any lore, cue, or heuristic for your own situation. Always verify conditions using reliable, up-to-date sources before making safety or planning decisions.
