March comes in with many windy and raining days and at the end of March, it seems to get cool and nice weather outside.
Discussion:
Explain why people use the saying in like a lion out like a lamb
The saying above refers to the weather. If the weather is bad (cold and snowy) at the beginning of March, then the end of March (going out) will be calm (like a lamb). If the weather is mild at the beginning of the month, then it is said that the end of March will end with bad weather.

March Wind
By Celeste E. Sefranek
The March wind comes huffing
And noisily puffing,
Rattling our windows and doors.
Like a great lion prowling,
It comes fiercely howling,
Making drafts through the chimney and floors.
But as March days go by,
It grows gentle and shy—
Not at all like the way it began.
March roars in like a lion,
But breezily sighing,
It skips meekly out like a lamb.
