  1. Signs of the Weather

    Share Share Post
    If the swallows fly low it it is a sign of bad weather. If they fly high it is a sign of good weather. When the wind comes from the north it is a sign of cold weather or snow When the wind comes from the south west it is the sign of fair weather. When the sun goes down yellow it is the sign of rain. A rainbow on a Saturday evening it is a sign of bad weather for the coming week.
