March Comes In

“If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.”

That’s how the old weather saying goes. (Coincidentally, March Comes In Like a Lion is also is an ongoing manga series by Chica Umino, best known for Honey and Clover. But that’s another subject.)

At the end of February there have been a lot of windy days here. My house has lost shingles. The wind has roared as March approaches. Today, the last day of February, the temperature in central Virginia was almost 80° F. Tomorrow the low will be 28° F. Roller-coaster.

Again today, the wind is up and tornado alerts are in place. And thunderstorms with heavy rain are approaching. It looks like I’m about to get clobbered (radar map below).

Guess where I’m located on the map above … just below that big blob of green, and it’s moving directly toward me. Ay Chihuahua! The beginning of March is definitely lion-ish.
