Some weather lore is actually true whilst some sound just plain silly.
Here's another one:
When the wind is in this quarter (S.S.W) at Martinmas, it keeeps mainly to the same point right on Old Candlemas Day (February 14th), and we shall have a mild winter up to then and no snow to speak of -VERIFIED IN 1869
As November 21st,so is the winter.
