If November 25th is like this, expect the whole of December to be like this.
It was Monday, November 25th.
On this day, believers honor the memory of John the Merciful.
In the folk calendar, the coming period is called: “Ivan the Snowy”.
And this name is easy to decipher. The first word refers to the above-mentioned saint, and the second is a hint at the weather conditions.
The thing is that our ancestors noticed: it is usually quite cold on November 25th.
However, the 25th day of the final autumn month was not always exactly snowy. In some years it was rainy.

Weather signs for November 25
Our ancestors had a belief: “What the weather is like on Ivan Snezhny, such will be the weather conditions in December.”
If snow falls on November 25, the resulting snow cover will remain for a long time: it will not disappear in the near future and will “hold on” until spring.
In this case, December, according to the signs, will be snowy, and spring will come late.
But if it rains on November 25, then, according to beliefs, the following month will also be rainy. And perhaps even January.
Low and dark clouds on this day promise a sharp drop in air temperature in the near future.
Light clouds floating against the wind may warn of the imminent start of a snowy period.
For reference
December is the twelfth month of the Gregorian calendar.
