- (continued from previous page)red in the evening it is the sign of fine weather.
A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning, a rainbow in the night is the shepherd's delight. When the cat turns his side to the fire it is a sign of snow. When the wind blows from the north it is the sign of snow also. When the floors get wet in the farmers' houses it is the sign of rain. When the sea-gulls come in on land it is the sign of rain.
An old saying is, "the north wind doth blow and we shall have snow."
