Alvarado, Texas, has a rather unique weathercaster - it's a 15 year-old pot-bellied pig named Pork Chop. Owner of the pig, Luis Gonzalez, said he could predict the weather by scanning the pet pig's coat. Gonzalez said the pig's predictions are right about 85% of the time. The owner says, "Around 2 years old we kind of figured out what the weather was going to be according to the hair on his neck and back - if we were going to have a cold winter, the hair will get thicker but the hair along his back and neck would get extremely long, so the longer the hair, the colder the winter." The exact opposite is true in the summer - the shorter the hair, the hotter the summer.
Gonzalez said his pig is predicting at least 3 more weeks of over 100 degree weather. Pork Chop is a talented pig, but I hate this latest forecast. Maybe he could be wrong just this once - please!
