In May, the Feast Days of Gervais, Mamertus and Pancras are celebrated
on the 11th, 12th, and 13th respectively. The feast days are often cold
and, therefore, have come to be known as 'THE THREE CHILLY SAINTS'.
An old French translation says that, "St. Mamertus, St. Pancras and St.
Gervais do not pass without a frost".
Well, on May 9th, the temperature dropped and it rained with a cold
northwest wind! (next column)

Sunday had a high of 8C and a low of 4.4 and Monday's high was 10C and a
low of -2.0. Now, this morning, it's -2C with heavy rime frost on roofs,
lawns, gardens and cars ... with the highs just creeping up.
Whether it's global warming, coincidence, or whatever ... the 11th,
12th, & 13th Feast Days of Mamertus, Gervais and Pancras look as though
they about nailed it!
Hmmm ... interesting.
