Just wrote a bit about a favorite book, Weather Proverbs (full story). Always kind of interesting to delve into the old-timey wisdom of what the natural world might be telling us about the weather. Some long-range sayings include:

There can never be too much rain before midsummer.

Wet May

Dry July

Don't plant your corn until the oak leaf is as big as a squirrels ear.

Calm weather in June sets corn in tune.

Early insects, early spring, good crops.

Fall bugs begin to chirp six weeks before a frost.

Some truth to all of these old saws, according to author Dr. George Freier. Anybody have one to add?

Thanks....

John

[fringeacres]

It always rains after a drought!

[mjalbers3]

Don't shovel snow in the winter won't shovel grain the next fall.

[WCMO]

July weather in May, May weather in July.

Oops!  Sorry, that's not a proverb, just a recent dream.
