The Weather Machine, a 33-foot-tall metal column topped with a large silver-colored orb, was installed in August 1988. At noon each day, the following day's weather is supossed to be announced with a fanfare of trumpets, flashing lights, and a spray of mist. The orb opens to reveal one of the following: (1) a golden leaf sun, for a clear day; (2) a silver great blue heron, to forecast a drizzly, misty, or overcast day; (3) an open-mouthed copper dragon, when storms are forecast. Unfortunatly, at the present time people will have look at the sky and check for themselves. The Weather Machine has been broken for awhile. It seem a truck backed into it and messed up the electonics. Sorry!
