Signs of Snow.
If the wind would come from the north the old people would say it would snow. If the curlews were flying low and calling loudly they would say it was the sign of snow.
Signs of Storms.
If a cat is seen scraping timber it is a sign of a storm. When the sky looks white in the evening it is a sign of a storm. When seagulls come inland it is an indication of west stormy weather.
