- The signs of bad weather are as follows:-
When the cat sits with her back to the fire.
When you see the cat washing her face very often.
When the cat scrapes the door-post or the leg of the chair.
When the soot falls.
When there is a blue blaze in the fire.
When the fire gives out great heat.
When the wind whirls the dust on the road.
When the midges are biting and the pismires are out.
When the curlews cry and the ducks quack loudly.
When the dog eats grass.
When the wagtail hops on the street.
When the swans come to a small lake.
When the wild geese cry.
When the moon is red.(continues on next page)
