Weather in Equestria

Ever wonder how weather works in Equestria? Ever wonder how pegasi can manipulate clouds and rainbows so easily? Well, wonder no more. Cold Front, Cloudsdale's premiere weather expert, is here to expose the secrets of weather in Equestria. (Answers will be text and image).

Thinking of bringing this blog back.

Any ideas for writing?

Cold Front's Story Time.

  Does everyone remember when Rarity tried to play dressmaker with the weather because of some silly cutie mark swap?  Twilight's fault, and she gets made princess for that.  PRINCESS!!!  With the amount of stuff I put up with at work, I should be made princess of the Weather Factory, but that's a different story.

  Anyway, that day was awful.  We got an unusually massive flood of complaints about conflicting weather patterns in ponyville.  We quickly find out that the local dressmaker was trying to do our job, and unsurprisingly doing it poorly.  A group of pegasi including myself had to go fix her mess and trying to get to get her to stop, but that proved futile as Rarity was in some delusional daze and insisted that this was her destiny.  Meanwhile this made work harder for me and my group as once we had one snow thundercloud out of way, there were 15 more in it's place because "It looked fashionable."  Weather is functional, not fashionable!!!

   After hours of trying to put things under control against a crazy unicorn, Rainbow Dash, the laziest show-off I know, comes along and fixes everything in mere seconds.  I sometimes wonder how she stays employed when she gets lazy.  Anyway, Twilight fixes Rarity (while singing >.>), and everything goes back to normal.   Other than a bonus that day, we really didn't get much recognition for keeping things under control by the populace.  I know some were in the hospital with weather-related injuries (still surprised how we didn't get sued for that), but it seemed that Ms. Dash got most of the positive attention from that.  I know she's an element and stuff, but the hard-working pegasi that day need recognition as well.  If we had sat on our butts or tried to play animal caretaker like Ms. Dash did that day, there's no telling what Rarity would have done.  Send fashionable EF-3's to Manehatten or frilly electrical snowstorms to Appleloosa.  I really don't want to think about it anymore.   Anyway, support your local not Dash pegasi, because we all play an equal part.

Uh... I am actually wondering... I-is there a wind department in the weather factory?

Not exactly.  We have a wind control department, but not a wind creation department.  Usually, we let wind do its own thing unless it either threatens to become destructive via a strong thunderstorm or some other meteorological phenomena, or we can create or eliminate wind on site if our orders call for it.

Some days, wind is easier to control than others.  A light breeze is nothing.  A rogue strong tornado or microburst means I’m going to be requesting overtime pay again.

Lola, why are you not at work?  We have a massive back order of orange clouds at the factory.  You can’t go on a terraphobia disability leave forever especially since we’re located in the frickin’ sky!

O-o-o-orange c-c-c-clouds? You mean it?

I-I-I can’t! I have a paper that allows me not to work!!!

((Have a Bonus that you should totally check out!))

Guess I'll have to work overtime again. >.>

I always wonder: How do you deal with wild weather blowing in from outside the control zone? Does it ever give you trouble?

Pegasi working for the weather patrol are trained to spot any unwanted natural weather phenomena slipping into the zone and deal with it accordingly, but we always have an odd rain cloud slip in from the Everfree.  When it happens, boy do the complaints come in, and from both angry citizens and angry employers.

Oh Celestia, don't tell me that place exists.  It can't because I don't see a factory that makes rainbows around Cloudsdale, just some device where they turn light into tangible spectra.  It can't be real...

The story of the Rainbow Factory is a old mare's tale told to young pegasi to keep them in line, and it worked because none of us wanted to grow up to be a rainbow.
