- (continued from previous page)it is believed that the weather will be fine. When the stars are glittering it is a sign of frost.
A rainbow on a Saturday evening foretells that the following week will be wet.
When the clouds are rolling and the sky red it is the sign of a storm.
To see the wildgeese coming in, is the sign of a storm and bad weather. To see the sheep going to shelter is the sign of rain. When the cat washes behind his ears it is the sign of rain.

When there is a blue flame in the fire. When the soot falls. When the dust rises off the road with the wind.
