And we can only hope that old country lore comes up to snuff when it says that March coming in like a lion, goes out like a lamb. It can’t be too soon for some lamb-weather either. At least yesterday, after I’d taken this first photo of Ragleth Hill, the sun came out and melted the snow. But it was a one day wonder. Today, after more overnight frost, the wind is roaring round the house and down the chimneys and it’s wet, wet, wet. Downcast daffodils all round.
So, Weather Gods, more skies like this, please. (You can hold on the snow).

Here in the high desert we got a foot of snow this weekend while the Sierras to the west of us got over seven feet of snow. In like a lion is the word from here.
That, Andrew, sounds like real lion weather and some. Seven feet of snow! Heavens!
Hope the lamb weather arrives soon for you, Tish.
Thanks, Sue. The garden is calling 🙂
😊
I really daren’t complain that it’s been a bit cloudy here lately, Tish, but when the sun comes out to play it generally hangs around for a while. Word has it that rain is on the way. Fine by me, but not for the friends who’ve been looking forward to coming back since October. Doesn’t help to tell them ‘it’s only weather’….
Happy days, Jo, whatever the weather. I need to think more positively, especially if you could send us some of your sun.
I’ll bring some back for Easter, Tish. Fingers crossed!
🙂 🙂 🙂
I really can’t complain but at my age winter is not a favorite season. It could have be boobad but it wasn’t. Cold? yes but after all it has been winter for several months. Today is beautiful but storms are coming. Prayers they aren’t too bad. Of course I do enjoy your photos.
Take care, Beverly. Hoping your storms are small ones.
The Marches don’t have a monopoly on lions. Plenty roaring around here, I can tell you. And they’re dripping too.
Dripping and roaring. Ooh. Too shivery, Margaret.
😁
Oh my Tish, how terrible for the garden. Here’s hoping that lamb is on its way. Wish I could share some of our sun with you.
I think you did share it, Pam. So thank you. We have a cloudless sky this morning 🙂
No snow, but plenty of hailstones! A beautiful photo though with the blue sky.
Sorry about the hailstones, Jude. Can do without them mashing the spring flowers.
Beautiful blue skies.
Hope fair weather arrives soon for you, Tish
You wish came true, Mak. Asante sana.
This is good to hear. In Nairobi and most of Kenya we are recording some high temperatures that are unusual for march
The lion is here in Sacramento and surrounding areas too. We haven’t had good sunlight in weeks. Are we copying you or are you copying us? My son lives in Reno Nevada and they got a few feet of snow. My grandkids are happy. Take care Tish.
It seems our snowfall was nothing compared to the huge dumps in various places on your side of the globe. And today we have sunshine, and the wind has dropped. Wishing you some sunlight, Anne.
We are have a somewhat sunrise this morning. I can’t wait to feel the sun for a full day again. I’m hoping that Spring is truly arriving. The foothills and mountain areas are buried under snow. They are working at keeping the 2 major highways open for people with chains on their tires. We are fine in Sacramento. We’re low enough not to get snow. Thanks for wishing me some sunlight.
You are most welcome 🙂 🙂 🙂
😊
Here’s hoping for a ‘proper’ spring!
Not had it as bad as you (yet) but it’s been so wet, yet another month of ‘most rainfall since records began’, that’s a familiar phrase our forecasters are using.
Hello, Brian. Yes, too much rain, but the weather gods have come good this morning in Shropshire: a blue sky sunny morning. Way-hay! Into the garden with me.
Despite some daffodils and trees in bud, it doesn’t really feel like spring in London yet either. No snow but we had frost yesterday morning and with dampness in the air today feels more like November than March!
I agree. It’s all a bit dank and chilly when there’s no sun. We’ve had a lot of overnight frost over the past week or so.
White snow, blue sky – picture perfect. 🙂
Cheers, Widders.
Yes, the March lambs can come anytime!
It sounds like home to me. We have the whole thing, including the wind — and a LOT of fallen branches to go with it. I has rains so much that the ground won’t accept anymore rain. It’s mud everywhere and I am pretty sure it has killed all the spring flowers. I should be seeing crocus, the beginning of daffodils and leafy forsythia by now, but there’s nothing. The only thing that seems to have survived are our lethal roses and the rhododendron. We might have something out back, but it’s too early to tell.
Fingers crossed that the spring flowers have survived. They are quite determined species-wise.
I’m looking forward to winter giving way to the lamb.
No lamb weather here yet, Pam. Just biting wind and gloom. Fingers crossed for bit of warmth on both sides of the Atlantic.
I didn’t know that saying.
I French we start in April: “En Avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil. En Mai fais ce qu’il te plaît…”
Hang in there… The light shall come…
Cheers, Brieuc. More light would indeed be good 🙂
Fingers crossed. Happy week-end Tish.
