A merry year.
Coat.
Who doffs his coat on winter’s day
Will gladly put it on in May.
(Scotch.)
Cold Spring.
A cold spring kills the roses. (Arabia.)
Equinox.
As the wind and weather is at the time of the equinox, so will be the wind and weather generally during the following three months.
As clear off the line, or equinoctial storm, so will all storms clear for six months.
