An old valley saying apparently is that if it hangs around 'it's
waiting for more' though obviously at some point the saying has to
fail!!
It's more widespread than that. My father, who spent his childhood in
Hampshire and Surrey, used to quote the same saying.
It was also a common saying in Northamptonshire when I was a lad.
Something else that my dad would say in a cold spell when we had a whiter
frost was that it was a sign of a change to mild weather.
