Very Informative,

This review is from: Weather Proverbs: How 600 Proverbs, Sayings, and Poems Accurately Explain Our Weather (Paperback)
This was very informative and still applies. Not only did I learn several things, it was entertaining while learning. The author covers a LOT of proverbs, even though maybe half get lumped into a small area after the meatier ones are covered. A must read for people interested in weather.
