- Wet soot falling a sign of bad weather.
When the wind is from the South West is is a sign of rain.
When the sun leaves a scarlet path after it sets it is a sign if good weather.
When the swallows fly low it is a bad sign.
A ring around the moon is the sign of a storm and when the sky is very red.
When the distant hills are looking nigh" a sign of rain.
If we get three mornings frost after one another the following day will be fine.- Collector
