Yesterday’s answer:
(C) Bear day
The
following from the journal of John W. Welch: “This is known as ‘bear day.’
There is an old saying that the bear comes out on the 2nd of Feb.
and if there is no sunshine he concludes spring has come and remains out, but
if he can see his shadow he goes back to his nest and we will have six weeks
more of winter.” (February 2, 1909)
