Weather observations by Guy Verhoff

Enjoying our recent weather? Here is the first half of May as recorded by Guy Verhoff of Pandora.

O the month of May, the merry month of May,
    So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green!
O, and then did I unto my true love say:
    "Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my summer's queen!

"The Merry Month of May" (partial) by Thomas Dekker, c. 1572–1632
