   "Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na scolb" A red sky in the morning is the shepherds warning and a red sky in the night is the shepherds delight. When the roof of the house is heard cracking it is a sign of frost. If the heat rises so high that the cattle cannot rest in the fields. When the cat sits near the fire. When a persons toes are very itchy. When there are blue lights in the fire. If the wind is whistling in through a hole in the window very lonesome. When little flies are seen hopping above the grass. When the seagulls come in in dry land looking for food. When the pigs snore very loud.When a person who has rheumatics feel very painful. These are all signs of rain.
