- On new years day the daylight lengthens as far as a cock's crow carries.
When oak trees bend with snow in January good crops may be expected.
January, 14 will be either the coldest or wettest day of the year.
A January Spring is worth nothing
As long as the bird sings before Candlemas so long will it wail after itFebruary
All the months in the year will curse a fair February
As long as the sunbeam comes in on Brigid's Day, the snow comes before May day.
On Canandlemas Day throw a Candle away
When Candlemas Day is come and gone
The snow wont lie on a hot stone
If February brings no rain there will be
There'ell be neither hay nor grain
If snails come out in February they will stay at home in March
February fill the dyke
With what thou dost like
