When the cry of the frog pierces the fog

on a freezing cold winters night,

Then you can be sure that next summers weather

will be nice and sunny and bright

When the nights are too cold

and the Frog's getting old,

and the call of the female just woke it;

then the sound that you hear

that resounds far and near

is the Grenouille - ready to croak it.

Me..... Today 

On a serious note though, this link explains why Frogs calling early in the year are linked to Global Warming....

No we are not, our French neighbour says this year has 13 moons, same as 2007, and 2008.
