    it is a sign of rain. When the hills look near and when the frogs change their yellow coat to black it is a sign of rain. When the smoke goes up straight from every chimney it is a sign of frost. When the dogs eat grass and when the crows fly low, it is a sign a storm. When there does be a mist rising up out of the river, it is a sign of good weather.
