The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beast shall multiply.
(Copied from old MS.)
A green Christmas makes a full graveyard.
A green Christmas indicates a white Easter.
Candlemas Day.
If Candlemas day be fair and clear,
There’ll be two winters in that one year.
On Candlemas day the bear, badger, or woodchuck comes out to see his shadow at noon; if he does not see it he remains out; but if he does see it he goes back to his hole for six weeks, and cold weather continues six weeks longer.
Have on Candlemas day
