   evening all the next week will be showery. When the wind comes from the North in winter it brings frost, and snow, it is always cold when the wind blows from the North. The most point the rain comes from is the West wind in this district. When there is going to be a storm and rain the sky looks very red in the West. There are birds and animals too, that show signs of rain. The swallow flies very low when rain is approaching.
