    Decades ago, the City of Williamsport conducted a public contest inviting entries seeking to identify a new promotional slogan.

    Among the proverbs often kicked around is one traced back to Thomas Fuller in 1732 pertaining to the arrival of March weather. Referring to the month as coming in like a lion and departing as a lamb, it depicts a cold, windy, snowy start, eventually giving way to glimpses of spring’s coming beauty and warmth.
