Hi.

It is Sunday, March 1. There is is an old English saying that the weather in "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" indicating that March weather starts out miserable and by the end of the month is pleasant.

Of course, that's England and that, allegedly, is the weather pattern for March in England. In other places there are different weather patterns and hence different adages.

In China the saying is that "March comes in like Yaowu and goes out like Binbin." See, that's different. That's a different saying, one that fits China.

In Pennsylvania, USA "March comes in like a Mountaineer and goes out like a Quaker."

In Cuba "March comes in like Fidel and goes out like Raul," i.e. there is not much change to the weather in Cuba in March.

In Russia "March comes in like a Bear and goes out like an assassinated Bear." Usually.

In Egypt...In the Southern Hemisphere, I HOLD that for this purpose Egypt is in the Southern Hemisphere...In the Southern Hemisphere everything is reversed so in Egypt "March comes in like an Arab Spring and goes out like a coup."

We could put these on greeting cards.
