Out Like a Liony Lamb
The old saying of the month of March "in like a lion, out like a lamb", or "in like a lamb out like a lion" is not something that really predicts weather patters. It is more of a picture. If we start March with the roaring cold lionlike wearher, by the time the month ends it should have milded down.
And if the month of March started with warm lamblike weather, it is likely winter weather will come roaring back before the end. A warm start to March is not the beginning of Spring, but a slight reprieve from Winter.
So the sayings are a picturesque ways of saying that.
We had a pretty mild beginning of March, some really beautiful days. Then of course Winter returned in its fury.
The rest of March was up and down and in-between.
This last week of March we have had lows in the single digits with highs in the mid 20's and within a day to lows in the mid 30's and a high of 60°.
We have had snow flurries, rain and sunshine. We have had melting snow makine rivers of waters on the pathways, and the same area iced over the next day. It was consistently inconsistent--typical of March.
Stay strong! The ups and downs make for rather rollercoaster weather.
