    If swallows are seen flying low it is also said that rain is near.

    When there is a circle around the moon it is said that we are going to have frost.
    When the old people see many stars in the sky they say we are going to have frost also.
    It is said that we are going to have a storm when the crows remains flying over the rookery in the morning.
