From the weather folk lore web site – with the weather starting to break, I thought the following weather rhymes might be interesting. I've added a comment after some of them to fit Maine.

January brings the snow, Makes our feet and fingers glow. (If your extremeties glow, you need new gloves and boots)

February brings the rain, Thaws the frozen lake again. (Keep your snowmobiles off the lake!)

When March blows it's horn,

your barn will be filled with hay and corn. (Whoever wrote that doesn't farm up here)  

March brings breezes sharp and chill, Shakes the dancing daffodil. (Excellent kite-flying days)

April brings the primrose sweet, Scatters daisies at our feet. (They mean rain here folks, don't get all romantic-eyed)

May brings flocks of pretty lambs, Sporting round their fleecy dams. (Yeah, and vet bills too)

June brings tulips, lilies, roses, Fills the children's hands with posies. (After all that work to grow them, the kids did what?)

Hot July brings thunder-showers, Apricots, and gilly-flowers. (…and the usual Red Sox adventures)

August brings the sheaves of corn; Then the harvest home is borne. (…and back-to-school shopping)
