We have our own personal version of the Farmers' Almanac here. Early on during last fall's onion harvest, for instance, she told us that since the onion skins were thin this year, the winter would be a mild one.
The latest scoop was announced this morning to the handful of us city folks waiting in line at the Poste: today is an important day in the world of weather prediction. It's the first of Les Remarques, the first three days of March...which, says Simone, indicate what the weather will be like for the next three months. March 1 mirrors May, March 2 points to April and March 3 to the rest of the month of March. Today started out frosty, then sunny, now overcast and threatening to rain. A bit of everything. March.
I really want to believe Simone. It's comforting to think someone has insight into the future.
But the winter was bloody cold and how thick an onion's skin is depends on the variety (so says my Dr. of plant physiology).
The floor goes to Farmers' Almanac fans and ADW... I'm all ears and not too thin-skinned about weather issues.
