    If the clouds move fast it is a sign of rain
    A mist in the morning is a sign of a good day
    The smoke going up straight is a good sign of the day
    Stars bright at night is said to be snow or frost
    The cattle coming in from the field is told to be a storm sign
    When there are Ants on the ground there is rain coming
