Default Some May lore

There's also a saying "As many fogs in March as frosts in May"

Anyone have any stats?


Well Elaine, in Coventry this looks about right.

Our 30 year averages (1971-2000) suggest an average of 0.9 days with
fog in March, and 0.7 days with frost in May.

How about a "hot May makes a fat churchyard"? Doubt we could find a
correlation there these days!!!
