From the very beginning humans have always tried to predict and explain weather patterns.
A saying like, "March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb", is an old English proverb that was used to describe typical March weather. Although it is not always very reliable, March 2016 seems to be very Lion-like as it is snowing this very minute!!
There are many other sayings known as weather folklore that were used by shepherds, sailors and farmers to help guide them during their workdays.
Fortunately, today modern technology has taken the guess work out of weather predictions. So the next time you see a "Red sky in the morning (sailors take warning)" or a "Red sky at night (sailor's delight)" you can either heed the folklore or tune-in to your local weather station.
