Today it is cold and windy and we'll maybe get a touch of frost in the coming nights. It's the ice saints causing this. They are:
St. Mamertus, Bishop, May 11.
St Pancratius, May 12.
St Servaitus, Bishop, May 13.
St. Boniface, May 14.
St. Sophia, nicknamed Cold Sophia, May 15
When their days are past, it is time to plant out and sow plants that can not tolerate frost well. Saturday sowing will happen, I hope.
Yes, they are managing the weather decently.
SvarSletInterestingly, we don't know the first saint you mention, we only know three.
Today we had hail, so far no frost, and true that the saints, and numbers of them are regional.
SletThe ice saints are busy here. We are having frosty mornings (and I mourn for the tree dahlias which probably wont flower this year).
SvarSletI don't know what kind of havoc the Ice Saints can wreck in the Southern hemisphere ;) But I'm sure they're quite able.
SletThe heat is being delayed here, and i am grateful.
SvarSletA positife effect, nice!
