As for folk signs. Yesterday was the Orthodox Sretenje. A folk belief says that if a rooster drinks water on Sretenje, then a bull will eat grass on Yuri's Day (May 6). That is, if there was a thaw yesterday, then spring will be early.
Yesterday it was very frosty, which means that spring will be delayed. By the way, the same sign was on February 2 (for Catholic Sretenje, or Groundhog Day).
