Siebenschläfertag

Today is "Siebenschläfertag" and an old rule of thumb says:
"If it rains on Siebenschläfertag, the rain may not abate for seven weeks."

Great shots - #1 & 4 are especially good - a bad (but sadly accurate so far) weather forecast but perhaps not quite 7 weeks worth?

We have the English equivalent day coming-up fast - 15 July - so perhaps even more rain then (but only in England, not Scotland please)!
