"If Candlemas Day brings cloud and rain,
Winter won't come again."

Given that the forecast for Munich today is a high of 4 degrees, with a 'felt' temperature of minus one, and with either snow or rain, then the old proverb holds promise!

Là Fhèill Brìghde, as the neo-pagan Imbolc is called in Gaelic, is a cross-quarter day, midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

Either way the worst of wintry darkness is behind us as again we move towards the light.It's a concept I like a lot.
