- When distant hills look near there will be rain.
When the sky looks high there will be good weather.
When the cat scrapes the broom there will be rain.
When the birds fly in great flocks there will be bad weather.
When the cows move away there will be good weather.
When the sky turns red there will be frost.
When there are a lot of stars in the sky it is a sign of frost.
