So many fogs in March, so many frosts in Might
A dry and chilly March by no means begs for bread
These are the primary strains of John Clare’s Shepherd’s Calendar for March
March month of many weathers wildly comes
In hail or snow and rain and threatening hums
And floods: whereas usually at his cottage door
The shepherd stands to listen to the distant roar
Loosed from the speeding mills and river locks
The lengthy vary forecast for the second half of March right here says
“Confidence turns into very low for this era. Nonetheless, the popular situation is that blocking excessive stress will stay largely dominant, growing the chance of colder situations in comparison with common. Spells of rain are extra doubtless than of late, particularly at first, with an opportunity of snow in some areas. Some wintry episodes could also be disruptive as a result of potential mixture of snow and powerful winds”
