Jump to navigationIn Like a Lamb
It is traditionally said that March may "come in like a lamb and go out like a lion" or conversely "come in like a lion and go out like a lamb."
Our columns are written quite a few weeks in advance of their publication date, so we won't attempt to predict March weather in North America; that's an iffy proposition in any event.
But one thing we can do is bring March in "like a lamb" with a relatively easy top of the month stroke problem.
