Weather Lore
Some say if it rains on the first Sunday of December, it will
rain for a week. Others say if it rains on the first Sunday of
any month, it will rain every Sunday that month. Weather
proverbs are as old as people’s interest in the elements. They
are our attempts to explain and understand our climate.
Some are useful, some are ridiculous, but almost all of them
are interesting. Here’s another one relating to days of the
month: If it storms on the first (or any) Thursday of a month,
_ count the remaining days of the
9 Uj month, add to this the number of
\ V ' days remaining of the Moon, and
' 'V\ ' T that will give you the number of
■ N \ ' storms for that season
'• Some rain, some rest;
fine weather isn t always hest
ns- Your crystal will sparkle
parts water to 1 part vinegar.
earthwise
A living Christmas tree is a
great idea. But unless
you’ve prepared your
yard months ago, your frozen
winter landscape may not be
able to receive a new tree To
solve this problem, some
nurseries now rent living
Christmas trees You enjoy
them in your home for the
holidays, take good care of
them, and return them when
the season is over
