I found this verse in "Murder for Christmas" edited by Thomas Godfrey, page 323.
If Christmas on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds, both loud and shrill;
But, in summer, truth to tell,
High winds shall there be and strong,
Full of tempests lasting long,
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty of beasts shall die...
-Traditional
This struck me on Thursday when I came across this in the book I was reading (mentioned above). Doesn't sound too positive or promising, does it?
And if we take Denver and Mt. Hood and other snowstorms already (some people still have no power), the Iraq-Middle East-Korea situations, and the all the animals we are in the process of exterminating into account, the rest of the winter and the summer should be interesting.
