As I have mentioned before on JSVB, to be Canadian is to be able to talk about the weather. A staple of the Canadian farmers' almanac is to claim that if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. Or vice versa. The intent is that March will have some really stormy Winter weather and then some very pleasant days in Spring.
This March seems to be even more mixed-up than usual. Plenty of lion, lots of lamb, very little logical progression from one to the other. A couple of days ago we had snow, calm, sun, rain, hail, wind, sun again, and snow again. It's exactly the sort of day I would call up if I had my hand on the weather control dial. Folks going out of the house would have to wear sunscreen, parkas, galoshes, and swimsuits.
