    If the sod smokes, he will be a smoker (likely to be a man).
    When the robin comes into the house, expect hard weather.
    When sheep come down off the hill, expect storm.
    When North winds blow
    Come frost and snow.
    When the dog eats grass
    Tis a sign of rain.
    If the sun shines very bright early in the morning, the day will not 'last'.
