Today we can easily see the weather forecast on the Internet and for a week, and for a month and even six months ahead. The same applies to magnetic storms, and the "length" of winter, the yield of summer. But earlier people had their own, people's winter signs , which were skillfully used to recognize everything that we draw from the boarding school and the TV. However, for some reason, having the most updated, verified-verified weather forecast at hand, we all, holding our breath, are waiting for the forecasts of the marmot and the bear, and with some special trepidation we are referring to the popular winter signs about the weather. What can you do, the human paradox.
December
December is the first winter month, and it is through it that you can determine the development of the winter for three months ahead. Although in fact, the severity of winter is determined even in the autumn - the leaves quickly fell, wait for the early frosts.
According to winter signs and proverbs, December - it is stagnant, gives a hardening throughout the winter, ends the year and begins the winter. As for the weather for the whole year, a certain pattern is clearly drawn here:
- Winter is warm - then summer will be cold;
- winter with snowstorms - bad weather in summer;
- winter is snowy - summer rains;
- winter frosty - to hot summer.
In the early days of December, they celebrate the day of Proclus and drive away evil spirits. Further, Vvedenskiye frosts come, which, however, could also be a thaw - "On the introduction of thick frosting" or "Introductory frosts of winter do not set."
December 9 is the day of George (Yuri), which is also celebrated in the spring. According to the winter signs of the weather, if to this day a lot of snow fell, it means that in the spring by the day of George the grass will already germinate.
On the day of Andrew (December 13), you should go to the forest and listen to the river (a stream and another source of living water) - if the murmur is barely audible, the winter will be even, and if you hear clearly - wait for blizzards, frosts, snowstorms.
January
According to the signs of the winter months, they say that January puts wood in the stove.
If you heard a woodpecker knocking in January, wait for early spring. And if long icicles hang from everywhere, there will be a good harvest.
Frosty January foreshadows a hot and dry July, and snowy - wet July.
Epiphany frosts always symbolized fertility and served as the main winter signs for the harvest. So, if Kreschenskie frosts are stronger than Sretensk and Christmas, the harvest will be just right.
January 21 can be determined for the summer - the blow of the southern wind says that the summer will be filled with storm storms. And on January 24 the people were already making plans for the approach of spring. Heat on this day foreshadows the early spring, and the cold - late spring sowing.
But the heat of January 30, the day of Anton, spoke, on the contrary, of frosts. People say that Anton will be reassured for one day and one should not believe Antonov's warmth.
February
They say that severe frosts happen only at night in February, and the month itself is called both the lute and the bogger, because the frosts alternate with a thaw.
Rainy February foreshadows a rainy spring and summer, dry February - to a hot August. If this month there are long icicles, then spring will be long. And the frostier the last week of this month, the warmer will be the first week of March. As for the harvest (the main theme of all popular predictions), if this month mainly cold winds - the harvest will be excellent.
On February 1 and 2, you can learn about the approach of spring. If 1 day, on the day of Makarii, a bright sunny day,
On February 10, they celebrate the day of Ephraim, and follow the Ephraim wind - a wind rushed, which means that the summer will be wet.
February 15th - Meeting. The whole day watching the first meeting of spring and winter, and in the evening special attention is paid to the Sun. If the sun before the sunset looked out from behind the clouds, it means that the last winter frosts have come to an end. If the sun does not appear at all, the winter does not recede.
And on February 23 Vlasyevskie frosts come - either fierce or thawing.
