- When the sky is dark and dreary it is a sign of bad weather. When the sun descends in a red glare it is a sign of good weather. When the clouds are black and heavy it is a sign of rain. A rainbow in the morning is the sign of bad weather, a rainbow at night is a sign of good weather. The west wind brings most ruin and the north wind brings the most snow to our district Blue light in the fire is the sign of storm when the dust rises off the roads and winds around in the air it is a sign of rain. When the smoke of the chimney turns westward it is a sign of bad weather
