    The Weather.
    Signs of Frost.
    When you can hear the train plainly in the distance.
    When wild ducks remain on running water.
    When a new moon is on its back.
    When the sky is full of bright stars.
    When there is a red sunset.
    When the moon is of a pale colour.
    When the crows fly high in the air.
    When there is a wide circle round the moon.
    When a very cold breeze blows.
    When chillblains get sore.
    When the wireless crackles.
    When there is a sting in the air at night.
    When seagulls light on running water.
