Grimspound, Dartmoor, Devon, in October By Phillip Capper (PhillipC) from Wellington, New Zealand (Flickr) [CC-BY-2.0 (www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons |
"Dry your barley in October
Or you'll always be sober.
Or you'll always be sober.
Warm October, cold February.
The 28th of October was anciently accounted as certain to be rainy.
October's brew
Will fuddle you.
Will fuddle you.
There are always nineteen dry days in October.
If October bring heavy frosts and winds, then will January and February be mild.
For every fog in October a snow in the winter, heavy or light according as fog is heavy or light.
As the weather is in October, so will it be in the next March.
Full moon in October without frost, no frost till full moon in November..." [cont.]
Hewett 1900
