General
Ne`er cast a clout
E`er May is out.
Occasionally, it snows in May!
If you would your doctor pay
Leave your flannels off in May.
May 2008 was very cold here
Be it weal or be it woe
Beans blow before May go.
2005 was very windy
A dry May and a dripping June
Brings everything in tune.
2007 should be tuneful!
