IN LIKE A LION OUT LIKE A LAMB

Is that wonderful Canadian saying describing March. Welcome to the last month of winter and first week of Spring. Well today it is snowing so came in like a lion. March always has a mix of weather. That's why many people prefer to go south for the children's March Break. I always wonder who coined this phrase- in like a lion out like a lamb or can be in like a lamb and out like a lion! Probably a farmer who wanted to predict when he could begin the Spring cleanup. We know farmers rarely get the credit deserved for their knowledge of things. Of course, unless it is the Farmer's Almanac which is probably a meteorologist writing it now! Weather is a favourite Canadian topic. If you have nothing else to talk about, well we always can talk about the weather. So today's blog is about the weather! I actually do have other things to write and talk about but felt I should be a typical Canadian! So how it the weather where you are today? Lion or Lamb?

  1. Yes, right up there with ...

    A dry March and a wet May? Fill barns and bays with corn and hay.

    As it rains in March so it rains in June.

    March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers.
