Gimme Back My Weatherball!
As Chief Meteorologist for MPR they give me a fair amount of leeway. A while back I told them I wanted to bring back the Weatherball.
Since it's not likely they'll allow me to erect a huge tower at 7th and Cedar, I've decided to bring the Weatherball back in cyberspace. So starting today, I'll post my Weather Lab Weatherball color coded forecast right here. Check this space for changes in the color code and forecast.
In case you’re too young to remember the Weatherball, here's a link to the jingle.

The forecast jingle goes like this:
When the Weatherball is glowing red, warmer weather's just ahead.
When the Weatherball is shining white, colder weather is in sight.
When the Weatherball is wearing green, no weather changes are foreseen.
Colors blinking by night and day say, precipitation's on the way.
