Probably a true saying then; In like a lion, out like a lamb! So if it's true to form the end of the month will be wonderful. Lets wait and see shall we, but that does now pose the question, what other 'weather related' sayings do you know of? |

When March winds do blow, we shall have snow, and what will the birdies do then poor things, Just sit in the barn, to keep themselves warm, and tuck their heads under their wings, poor things. |
