“March comes in like a lion
and goes out like a lamb.”
~ English Proverb

It appears that the words of this well-known proverb, the origin of which is uncertain, will prove to be accurate once again this year. It was raining with the high temperature in the mid-50ºs on Friday, March 1st. Today, on the last day of the month, after a light morning shower, South Bay residents will enjoy a partly-sunny day with a high temperature of 67º predicted for this afternoon. Then, as we transition into April, the lamb makes its presence known. How ironic as we celebrate Easter Sunday today. 

The weather forecast for the first two days of April indicates a respite in the rain, with a high of 72º on Monday and 75º on Tuesday. What a great way to begin the new month.

It’s been a good winter. With above-average rainfall, the water supply in the Bay Area is sufficient to get us through the summer and fall. I can only speak for myself, but I would think I’m not alone in being more than ready for warmer, dryer weather. Winter was nice, but I’m definitely looking forward to spending more time outside in the months ahead.

March roars in like a lion
With a bluster and a slam!
And tiptoes out so gently
Like a quiet little lamb.
