- (continued from previous page)goes to heaven.
When there are lots of stars in the sky it is freezing. The south wind brings most rain to this district.
A fog is either for heat or rain. A dog eats grass when there is going to be rain and the curlew whistles in the bog also before rain.
When a cat sits with her back to the fire there will be storm. When smoke is seen going up straight from a chimney there will be rain.
When a blue flame is seen in the fire there will be storm. When ducks quack there will be rain.
When sparrows sing on an ash tree there will be a hard winter.
When crows fly scattered in the sky cawing loudly it is a sign of bad weather.
When a pig hides her head under her bedding there will be a storm of wind because it is ancient belief that a pig sees wind.- Collector
