- Weather - LoreSome people especially old people know a lot as regards the weather. When we are going to have bad weather the sun and sky darken. The clouds begin to move faster than ever, rainbows appear in the sky. If you look out at night and if the stars are glistening it is a sign of frost. Those are not all the signs of bad weather. If the cat comes in and sits in the corner we will have bad weather. When the ants fall on the ground it is a token of bad weather.
When the smoke turns down the chimney it is a sign of bad weather if soot falls down the chimney.
