- (continued from previous page)a Shepherd saw his flock of sheep sleeping out in the middle of the field, or a rainbow in the evening he knew they were in for fine weather, a fog lying close to the land is another good sign. The sun getting a nice red colour is a good sign. The cock getting up on a height to crow is another forecast of good weather.
Even to this day the old Irish people have still more belief in these signs than in the weather experts.- Collector
