Spring is in full swing, and like the weather, so are the thunderous weather-themed proverbs.
As we start April, you may have not heard these next two weather proverbs, but they still ring true today.
"If it thunders on All Fools' Day, it brings good crops of corn and hay," and "The first thunder of the year awakens all the frogs." The thunder and frogs -- called "spring peepers" -- officially sound the trumpets of spring.

:(
Actually we did have a thunderstorm just before I heard the very start of the peepers the other night.
I had never heard that before.
#4. Get out a shovel and enjoy protein-filled “roadkill sushi”. You want fries with that?
NOOOOO!
I save the little guys!

Got a dusting last night and it’s currently 25 degrees here in SE Mich

Woke to 1/2 inch of snow, melted quick though
Today is the Detroit Tigers home opener....LOL!
I can't imagine sitting in the frigid cold watching or even playing baseball today.
Nope. I’m sitting in my while, down at a lake, with the winds whipping along at about 20 mph I’d say, and only 37 right now. Gotta turn on my heater right now lol
