The start of March has been pretty rough weatherwise here in the Oxford area. 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?

Red sky at night sheperds delight

Red sky in the morning sheperds warning.

 

This one is usually right

The March winds shall blow and we shall have snow.

With changing weather patterns, most of the old sayings may not work for much longer.

Going back to the original saying about March "In like a lion, out like a lamb!"

I hope the lamb takes over soon, as the lion still seems to be hanging around at the moment! Smile

Hi Peter, to carry on with your verse, when I was a child, (many moons ago) we used to say:-Frown

 

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.
