I think my mother knows what she is talking about she is 68 years old. She has a very good memory and remembers things very well. Also very good at remembering phone numbers too. I am 37 years old. My father too when he was alive used to also tell me there was no such thing as rain, freezing rain or even ice pellets back then just snow. I think rain is obviously a common theme from March- November but not really for December, January and February.
