If the cat scrapes the wood it is a sign of storm and wind.
When the dog eats grass and sleeps during the day it is a sign of bad weather.
When the sky is dark it is a sign of rain.
When the crickets sing sharply it is a sign of wild weather.
If the sea-birds come inland it is a sign of frosty weather.
When there is a blue blaze in the fire it is a sign of frost.
When the cat sits with her back to the fire it is a sign of rain.
If the swallows fly low and near the ground it is a sign of wet and stormy weather.
When there are openings in the sky it is a sign of stormy weather.
When the sun goes down pale it is a sign of rain.- Collector
