   when it curls it is the sign of rain.
   A fog over a mountain is the sign of rain and a fog over a river is also a sign of rain.
   When the dust is going before the wind it is the sign of rain.
   The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow.
   Also when it is going to snow the sheep and goats come down from the mountain
   When we hear the sea roaring it is the sign of a storm.
   When you see a yellow frog it is the sign of good weather, and when you see a brown frog it is the sign of bad weather.
