- Old people can foretell wet weather by the pains in their joints and some people by their aching corns.
When the smoke from the chimneys hang low over the houses rain is soon coming.
Rain generally follows three white frosts.
All the months of the year curse a fair February.
Sheep climbing to high land is a sign of fair weather and when they seek the low places bad weather is coming.
A green Christmas makes a fat Churchyard.
The pig being able to see the wind gathers all the straw into its sty before a storm.
The Blackbirds mellow tones become shrill before rain.
The cow shaking its body is a rain sign.
Froth on the flowing river is a sign of rain.
