So did March come in like a lion or a lamb on Sunday? I’m not sure.
There wasn’t a storm blowing through. In fact, the sun was out. That would seem to tilt the needle toward “lamb.”
But it was awfully cold, with a low in the mid-teens and sharp winds that kept the day anything but shirtsleeve weather. Ask the folks who bundled up for the doubleheader between Wichita State and North Dakota State Sunday, and I’m sure they would vote for “lion.”
National Weather Service hydrologist Janet Spurgeon sounded a little conflicted, too.
“The sky was beautiful – just some high cirrus,” she said. “It wasn’t too bad.”
Well, except for the fact that it started out “a little cold,” she conceded. And there was that “nasty wind,” as she put it.
So maybe it was a lion after all, Spurgeon said. “Not a vicious lion,” she qualified.
Me? I want to stamp it a “lion” of a day, if for no other reason than that’s supposed to mean March will leave like a lamb. Then again, my birthday’s late in March, and the weather’s lousy on that day about 80% of the time anyway.
But I want to hear what readers think: Did March come in like a lion or a lamb?
