    (C) Signs of Storm
    When steamers are at anchor near Scattery Island.
    When the seagulls come inland.
    When the geese are seen flying.
    If the clouds move across the sky very swiftly.

    (D) Signs of Frost
    When a person sees his breath.
    To see redness in the sky in the evening.
    To see a red light in the fire.
    When the smoke goed up straight from the chimney.
    When the stars shine very brightly.
    When the sky is very red in a winter's evening - not around the sun.
