Default Winters cold or mild!?

I love this one which someone put on the TWO forum. I have heard the part,
"If November ice can bear a duck" etc. But I haven't heard the rest until
now.
I know one thing. It is certainly true from my experiences.


"A good mild November with cold failing to impose itself bodes very well
indeed for a cold winter . '47 , '81/82 , '40 , '79 , '85 .... exceptionally
mild Novembers preceded 'em all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If November ice can bear a duck , there'll be nothing after but slush and
muck..........

...... But if November winde from west doth bring , the winter that follows
shallt be a magical thing "
