Lamb or Lion?

Today is March 1

I'm a fan of weather lore

And for the month of March

An English proverb describes typical March weather:

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb

And in 19th Century America, it was used as a prediction contingent on a year's early March weather

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

(but it doesn't work very well!)

However, the reverse is true . . . 

if the weather is nice early 

(lamb like)

it won't be at the end

(lion like)

Today, on the prairie

It will be lionlike

For sleet 

(2 inches)

then snow

(6 to 10 inches)

are predicted.

That's pretty lionlike to me!!!!

Sometimes on March 1

it may not be lamblike outside

But it is inside

When we have lamb for dinner!

(And we don't follow that at the end of March with a dinner of lion --

we've never eaten lion, although we have eaten wild boar!)
