    they fly high that is a sign that the weather will be good. When the smoke goes up straight that is a sign the rain is coming. When the train has a great noise that is a sign that the rain is coming. When the soot is falling that is a sign that the rain is going. When there is a blue blaze in the fire that is a sign that there is a storm coming.
    If the sky is red in the west that is a sign that the day would be fine. If you have shinblanes that is a sign that the weather will be wet. When there is a ring round the moon that is a sign that the weather will be bad.
