I was astonished in reading the post about Candlemas ( what is exactly "mas"?), since I was thinking about a saying - in a very strict dialect La Madonna Candelora dell'inverno semo fora ma se piove o tira vento dell'inverno semo drento. (The day of ) the Virgin Mary - (queen of ) the candles - or bringing candles ( February, 2) we are out of the winter, but if it rains or there is wind we are in (the middle of ) the winter. I knew about Ground-hog day just from a movie with Bill Murray and...I don't remember, maybe Andie Mc Dowell?
