SOME OF YOU GUYS HAD A REAL LAZY AFTERNOON!
This following list compiled within 3 hours of my post by many responders.
Any humorous additions?

If rock is white.......................... snow
If rock is icy..............................sleet/freezing rain
If rock is wet.............................rain
If rock is swaying.......................wind
If rock is parallel to ground.........HIGH wind
If rock is shaking.......................earthquake
If rock is hot.............................high tempreture
If rock is cold............................low tempreture
Can't see the rock....................it's nighttime
????? fog
The rock is not there.................it's been stolen (urban interpretation)
The rock is gone.......................REALLY high wind (hurricane/tornado
zone interpretation)
If the rock is moving in a circle....Tornado

At one camp, Mr. Weather Rock was joined by Mrs. Weather Rock, and they had
a litter of pebbles.

Any 'lore or history of weather rocks? Being my camp theme is "knights of
the round table" my lore is that I personally made a sojourn to "the place
of weather rocks", a secret and sacred place (ok I could drive my car right
up to the rivers edge, right below a dam) where the shore was nothing but
weather rocks of all sizes, some more powerful than others. I selected one
imbued with great prognosticating abilities. I sensed its power radiating
from within (well, it was the biggest one I could lift into my trunk). It
called out to me (actually it was the little voice inside me telling me to
get the heck out of there before some low-life makes me the next murder
victim. HEADLINE: businesswoman and her late model car discovered at river
edge near sewage treatment plant. She was holding a rock and a note that
said "remember the buddy system"...)

I also got 100 baby/portable weather rocks to give to the boys. I
obsessively selected perfectly spherical, egg sized rocks (and the little
voice inside me was screaming "you are nuts, leave, get out of here"). I
have decided that my rock is pregnant and will give birth on the last day
of camp. My husband will be at camp. Maybe I'll just drop hints all week
that...just think of all those pregant metaphors.
