In like a Lamb out like a Lion ?

... or in like a Lion out like a Lamb ?


Here is is in like a Lion - snow a bit of wind - dropping temps


how bout were you live ?

In like a Lion.
We're expecting 6-10 inches of snow tonite/tomorrow. (NJ)
I'm always so excited in the beginning of winter, but right now I'm so over snow.

The snow is gone here, but it's still cold.

30 mo' days.... wooooo

"If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb."

Is there any truth to this saying?

Weather sayings are as colorful as our imagination. While many sayings are based on careful observations and turn out to be accurate, others are merely rhymes or beliefs of the people who came before us.

Those people often believed that bad spirits could affect the weather adversely, so they were cautious as to what they did or did not do in certain situations. Those beliefs often included ideas that there should be a balance in weather and life. So, if a month came in bad (like a lion), it should go out good and calm (like a lamb).

With March being such a changeable month, in which we can see warm spring-like temperatures or late-season snowstorms, you can understand how this saying might hold true in some instances. We can only hope that if March starts off cold and stormy it will end warm and sunny, but the key word is hope. However, this saying seems be to more of a rhyme rather than a true weather predictor.

i believe here it's in like a lion, out like a lamb

thunderstorms,rain, and cold... again...

and the sun is shining already
lows tonight... 39 degrees

Lambs are out here and so are the Snow Drops and many other beautiful flowers are blooming.

i've been told the saying "it's colder than a witch's tit"
and somehow i find it fitting for today's temperature.


...wether or not that involves lions or lambs...i don't know...

I'm predicting double lions here. This has typically been my hardest month of the year.

My mother used to use that phrase all the time when I was little. Now she lives in the Southwest and never has to use it.

March is in like a lion where I am. It was snowing quite a bit this morning and apparently we're supposed to get a storm later.
