"In like a lion, out like a lamb" is the old saying for March. I woke to gusting flurries of snow; just a light dusting on the ground but it has been fiercer up north by all accounts.

 Unseasonably early springs have become commonplace in recent times but not this year. Actually I remember snow as late as Easter when I was a child. The past week or two have been biting cold and drizzly but I'm not complaining, March should be like that. And we need the water after February being so dry.

 Whether the weather will go out like a lamb at the end of the month remains to be seen. It promises to be a good spring when it comes. The cold is keeping plants dormant so they will all stir together as the air and soil warms up.
