This is the coldest week of the
year, and the three last days of the month, known as "the days
of the blackbird", are according to folklore the very coldest.
According to a folk legend once upon a time blackbirds were white. At the end of January, seeking respite from the cold a female blackbird took refuge for three days in a chimney.
She survived the intense cold but her feathers turned black because of the smoke; since then blackbirds are black.
