Weather forecast by ... pig pancreas

An American farmer can predict a big blizzard through pig pancreas instead of radar or other modern technical means.

Paul Smokov, 84, raised a herd of cattle on a 708 hectare farm in Steel, North Dakota. He regularly forecasted the weather by observing two 30-centimeter brown brown pancreas pieces on his kitchen counter.

If the pancreas is swollen and then narrowed, it means that the winter will come early with a gentle spring; if it is narrow and broader, this spring will have severe weather. If it is regular, there will be no significant changes.

" These pig pancreas pieces are 85% correct, according to my calculations. Even the weather engineers could not do better, " Smokov said. Smokov's parents living in Ukraine brought knowledge of weather forecasting. through my pig pancreas to the US when they evacuated from the last century.

Local weather forecasts announce a normal winter this year in North Dakota. This coincides with Smokov's prediction.
