I think this is the right place.
A few days ago there was a report on the internet that the Shetland isle folk recon that the wind dogs they have forecast the weather better than the Met office.
Can any one tell me what a wind dog is?
Thanks for your time.

For some reason I couldn't post the link. I googled wind dog and Shetland Isle and came up with a newspaper account - the Scotsman I think.

Part of the islands' rich weather lore, the phrase denotes a fragment of a rainbow. According to legend, should one appear in front of the sun, tomorrow will be fine. On the other hand, if a wind dog is behind it, islanders should prepare for rain.
