Weather Lore
If the birds are flying low it is a sign of bad weather.
If the birds are flying high it is a sign of good weather.
When the soot falls it is a sign of rain.
If the crane flies towards the source of the river it is a sign of bad weather and if she flies towards the mouth of the river it is a sign of good weather.
If the stars glitter at night it is a sign of frost.
If there is a noise in the Lough Allen it is a sign of good weather.
When the smoke goes straight up from the chimney it is a sign of good weather.
