Have rivers much water in January, then the autumn will forsake them. But are they small in January, then brings the autumn surely much wine.
Is January wet, remains empty the barrel.
If Saint Vincent’s (22d) has sunshine,
One hopes much rye and wine.
If Saint Paul’s (25th) is bright and clear,
One does hope a good year.
If on Saint Paul’s it rains and snows, the grain will be costly.
Much rain in January, no blessing to the fruit.
Fruit that grows in January will generally be costly or dear.
January warm, the Lord have mercy.
