- (continued from previous page)feathers we may expect plenty of rain. When we hear the wind whistling round the house we know we are very near rain. When the crows make a racket in the air it is a sign of storms. If the smoke goes up in a slanted line it is the sign of rain. A fog is very unhealthy and sometimes it brings bad weather. Sheet-lightning often brings wet weather. When smoke is white it is supposed to bring good weather and when it is dark, it brings broken weather. When we see the sun setting in a bank of clouds we know we are going to have rain.
