    People believe that there is snow coming if the fields look very green.
    It is a sign of rain it:-
    The hollow winds begin to blow,
    The clouds look black,
    The glass is low.
    The soot falls down
    And spaniels sleep,
    the spiders from their cobwebs creep.
    Bad, Bad weather may be expected if the sheep come down from the mountains.
    Big wind is coming if you see the cat scraping a bush.
    The stars sparkling is a sign of frost.
