- Fine weather:
To see cattle lying on the top of a high hill; to see smoke going up straight out of a chimney; to see birds flying high.Rain:
To see a blue flame in the fire; to see the seagulls, the crows and the swallows flying low; to see a cat with his back to the fire; to see the moon on its back and to see crowds of flies on a summer's evening. The south-west wind is the wind that brings the most rain with it. Storm:
To see swans going from teh lakes to the rivers; to see a dog eating grass and to see the cat pawing the twig.Frost:
To see the sky covered with stars in the night and to see the whins and fences covered with cobwebs.Snow:
To see the wildgeese fly low. When the wind comes from the north, we shall have snow.
