just a subject i thought about today as my knee started hurting again like it has off and on all spring then i realized we have some cold weather coming in. in the old days isnt that what the old timers would say ? ok i'm not that old but some days it barks at me

I broke my leg at the ankle about 30 years ago. I can feel it hurt every time a low pressure front comes in.

I stepped on a nail twenty five years ago at work. The nail went through bones and the doctor said it looked much like a gunshot wound. I sat down on the ground and use both arms and my other foot to pull the nail out. After several days at home, I ended up in the hospital for a week and almost lost a couple toes. I too can now tell when the weather is a changing.

38 years ago had knee surgery, have been predicting the cold weather changes since then with that knee.

the real question here SV is do i slow down my presentation on a low pressure front ? :>)

I have so many pains I could probably predict the stock market and most elections if I could remember which pain means what.

Maybe we need to break the weather mans knees, because he's always wrong.

Was caught in a PTO back in 1977 and my shoulder gets sore when the weather changes. And I'm not that damm old!

LOL! I'm with you. I keep hoping that my hip can predict commodities futures.

I had back surgery about 10 years ago. I too can feel a low pressure front coming in. It is kind of weird.

Seems like I'm always a little late with the prediction thing... my back and shoulders only hurt *after* the snow is cleared off of the drive.

A lot of people claim to be able to predict the weather, too many to be pure coincidence, IMHO.

But there has to be more to it than just a drop in barometric pressure...if that were the case, then you'd have those symptoms everytime you went up in a skyscraper.

Just a guess- some sort of electromagnetic disturbance with a barometric pressure drop- again, purely a guess.

So that's why I've felt like crap all spring...

I need my right knee replaced and when the weather changes it lets me know. It was screaming for the past two days....

I predicted, by use of my stiff neck, that it was going to snow in May. Everyone thought that I was crazy. Well, they were half right, but it snowed today.

I can predict with great accuracy when it is going to rain anytime I am sleeping in a tent. Without fail it rains hard about sixty seconds before I have to leave the tent to use the nearest tree.

I may be old but I still can't predict the weather. I do, however, predict (and hope) I will be around long enough to see what next week's weather brings.
