When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.
Alice Hoffman, 'Here on Earth'
Barometer1, n.: An ingenious instrument which indicates what kind of weather we are having.
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary
Time for the weather report. It's cold out folks. Bonecrushing cold. The kind of cold which will wrench3 the spirit out of a young man, or forge it into steel.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Lost and Found, 1992
Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered4 light by morning.
George Carlin (1937 - 2008)
Isn't it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists5?
Kelvin Throop III
Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation.
No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather.
Michael Pritchard
Money is the opposite of the weather. Nobody talks about it, but everybody does something about it.
Rebecca Johnson, in 'Vogue'
