Storm Skull Weather Predictor
Today...it will storm like the end of days! Muahahahaha! And tomorrow...it will be sunny and 75! Muahahahaha! The weather may not always be ominous, but with this Storm Skull Weather Predictor, your forecasts for it will be.
A heady take on the classic storm glass, the Storm Skull has a liquid sloshin' around its noggin that reacts to atmospheric conditions, changing in appearance to reflect the forthcoming weather. For example, clear liquid indicates clear skies, while the formation of large crystals inside the skull correspond to brewing storms.
And when the liquid inside the Storm Skull Weather Predictor turns deep red? Welp, life on Earth, it was a good run, wasn't it?
