  1. On New Year's Day the daylight lengthens as far as a cocks crow carries.
    When oak trees bend with snow in January, good crops may be expected.
    January 14th will be either the coldest of the wettest day of the year.
    A January spring is worth nothing.
    As long as the birds sing on Brigid's Day the snow comes before May Day. Candlemas Day throw a candle away. When Candlemas Day is come and gone the snow won't lie on a hot stone.
