- If there's ice in November that will bear a duck,
There'll be nothing but sludge and muck
You can't blow away a November fog with a fan.
At St. Martin's Day (11th November) winter is on the way.
A green Christmas - makes a fat graveyard.
A wet December empties the granary.
If the milky way in December shows clear,
You may safely count on a fruitful year.
Cock crowed "Christmas natus est",
Raven croaked "Quando",
Rook cawed "Hac nocte".
Ox mooed "Ubi"
Ass brayed "Eamus"
