Candlemas

If Candlemas Day be weet and foul
The half o the Winter is gaen at Yule.
If Candlemas day be fine and fair
The half o the winter is to come and mair.

This Candlemas Day morning began dry and mild with the odd blink of sunshine as we walked through Philorth Woods where the snowdrops are now fully out. By the time we were leaving the Line the drizzle started and gained intensity so that  we were soaked by the time we got home.

What does this augur for the coming season?

  1. Definitely heavy rain on the way from Inverurie to Aberchirder today. There were heavy black clouds in Inverurie. The winter is definitely half one and more.
