    the winter is for gales.
    The chirping of the blackbird on a winter's evening is for frost.
    When the clouds in the sky are small and mackeral coloured it is a sign of rain and storm.
    When the sea-gulls fly towards the sea it is a sign of good weather but when the come in-land it is the sign of an approaching storm.
    When the sea-birds go towards the sea in the form of a large 'V' it is a sign of good weather.
