A Nisly Day over Aireyholme
An old book of weather proverbs I own offers an array of predictions for March, ensuring that, whatever the weather, one can always find something vaguely reassuring within its pages. One such gem is a French proverb: “When March is like April, April will be like March.” How profound.

We're expecting some fairly warm, nay, hot weather for April (see forecast below) and I expect to go through the same proceedings with my #gardening neighbors as I do every single year. Over and over again, they'll ask me, if they can transplant their nightshade family and similar seedlings outside already. And my answer, for Central Europe at least, will always be a big NOPE (and likely a facepalm - because they're tirelessly optimistic and overzealous)!
There's an ancient weather lore of the Three Ice Saints, followed by Cold Sophia (see Wiki link) that still applies, despite all the recent changes to our climate. Our last frost day is May 15. It's been observed and recorded by Galileo Galilei in the 17th century and it is still observed nowadays. You simply don't plant hot season plants into cold soil with chance of frost. So... patience! If your seedlings won't get stunted by cold, they'll grow healthier and much, much faster. I'm always the last in our neighborhood to transplant things like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants et. al onto my garden and always the first to harvest.

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight!
Although some areas substitute shepherd for sailor. I'm inland, so shepherd it is.

According to Pliny the Elder (that 'friend' of Fabulous Folklore), snow that has lain for a while was filled with large, hairy white-reddish grubs that seemed to be asleep.

“In this #winter #weather, cold must be our nest.” My Dad often said this. I can’t find it as a quote anywhere. Have you ever heard it before? #weatherMastodon #weathersayings #weatherlore

Red sky in morning, shepherd's warning!
This is an omen that bad weather is on the way - and it's rooted in science.
A red sunrise can suggest there is a lot of water in the atmosphere. So I won't be surprised if it rains later!
