Lion or Lamb

There is an old saying, "If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb."
I have heard that ever since I was a child, and I can remember years when it proved true, and others that were the opposite.
Tomorrow is the first day of March, and there is a winter storm watch issued for our area. We had some freezing rain this morning, but is trying to clear up now. Once again everything is covered with ice.
It looks like March will be coming in like a roaring lion in our area. So what do you think? Can we expect the end of the month will be like a gentle lamb?
Only time will tell.

I had forgotten this saying. Hope it's true. Roaring here pretty much too. Snow and a little colder weather. It will be 62 tomorrow which will be nice. Off and on.

@AnneEJ ....We call our weather here 'five minute weather'. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. LOL

@enlightenedpsych2 .....Yes, I did catch what he said. I remember when congress didn't believe it and wouldn't do any saying it was a hoax.

I am in North of China, and our Chinese Solar Terms also said, March starts with "the waking of insects", it means insects and hibernated animal are going to wake up for new year. and it is sunny at morning, and blue sky, just a little bit of cold, no reports for rain, it will be soon warm and cozy.

That is interesting, the waking of insects. No danger of that here yet as there is lots of snow on the ground.

@AnneEJ yes, Chinese traditional culture is much more interests, and The Waking of Insects never means that we are in danger of vicious insects attack, it is just one of Solar Terms of all year in our China.

No lamb around here today. Just cold and snow. The lamb will come around in a week.

I too, have always heard this saying. So far this morning for us, it has come in like a lamb however this afternoon and evening everything will change as a cold front pushes through and will trigger strong gusty winds and thunderstorms. Is there a saying for when you experience both lion and lamb in the first 24 hours of March?

No, but there should be as that is the way it is here today. Sunny now, blizzard coming tonight. Maybe the Scripture verse, where it says, "the lion will lay down with the lamb", but I don't think that is talking about our weather today

In my country Winter is returning back. It seems pretty colder now.

That's for sure. The sun is trying to come out now, and temperature is warming up.

Nothing we can do about it, just take it one day at a time.

It's hard to tell if March will exit as a lion or lamb. This winter has been totally unpredictable weather wise

Interesting saying. Has it always proved to be true in the past for you?
