    When the moon appears turned on its back it is sign of rain.
    When the crows fly high a storm is approaching.
    When crows have their backs turned to the trees it is a sign of thunder.
    After rain if the roads dry too quickly it is a sign of more rain.
    When smoke goes up straight it is a sign of good weather.
