March came in like a lion

March came in like a lion and I am hoping it goes out like a lamb. We had a snow storm this weekend dumping tons of wet snow all over. The temperature has been mild but has now started to get colder but we should get warmer weather later in the week. The problem with warmer weather in winter is that it is the ideal condition for snow and ice storms.
In the meantime, everything in the yard is covered with and buckling under the weight of the snow.
How is the weather in your neck of the woods?
What is the meaning of “In Like A Lion, Out Like a Lamb” It is based on the idea that March is a changeable month that can start out stormy and end calm or visa versa.

@JudyEv It can get quite heavy especially when it is the wet kind like we had

@petatonicsca You often see that in comic films. A person slams the door and the snow falls off the porch roof.

When it falls off the roof onto your head, it's pretty heavy too. Brr!

@Freelanzer I was hoping that the snow would melt too. Hopefully it does.

Boy yes it did here as well and finally it is warming up into the 50's we still have snow about 6 inches left but it is melting. I sure hope it does go out like a lamb. Winter has been over long and cold.

@Freelanzer The weather is at its extremes. It is very cold in winter and very hot in summer.

Seems like you had similar weather to what we had here. We usually get similar weather because we are fairly close even though I find Minnesota weather much milder than ours.

It is quite a contrast in temperatures from where you are to where I am. We can get cold weather or snow right into May and even in June at times.

I was thinking about "April showers bring May flowers." In Tokyo it's more like "March showers bring March and April flowers." We already have some trees blooming so the flowers on the ground should follow soon.

Would love to see flowers blooming right now but guess I will have to wait.

Ah, we got an ice storm with a little snow on top of it. I hope you're right and it will be nice from here on out

Yes and that is my bird feeder covered in snow. Poor birds have to go without food until it thaws.
