    A rainbow in the evening, is a sign of fine weather.
    Hail stones, are the sign of frost.
    A starry sky, is the sign of frost.
    If the cat sleeps, at the fire, its a sign of frost
    If swallows fly low, it is a sign of rain
    When salt gets damp, it is a sign of rain.
    If the sky is blue, it is the sign of fine weather.
