This is the Secret to the Farmer's Almanac

The first section on weather proverbs was great fun. I have experienced the truth of these sayings in many places I have lived. I was interested in the start of the seasons from a weather point of view, rather than from a astronomy viewpoint. The second and third parts were on meteorlogy and lightning. These parts were complete with charts and graphics, but I found the reading to be tough sledding in July. Nevertheless, I now have a healthy respect for the TV weather persons and how they come up with their forecasts.
