The only thing better than "old wive's tales" are "old Texas wive's tales," and have we got some doozies. You probably have a grandparent who throws out weather predictions based on strange things, but somehow they are correct... Sometimes.

Popular Texas Weather 'Myths' That Sometimes Prove True
It turns out that some of these sayings aren't always based on cold-hard facts. But whoever came up with them had to have a reason behind each one, right?
