- (continued from previous page)to the fire it is a sign of storm.The following signs were told to me by Patrick Kiernan, Cartron , Drumlish.
Age 60 years.If it rains on the Gooseberry fair of Bunlahy it rains for forty days.
When a horse stands with his tail to a bush it is a sign of bad weather.
When the rooks fly headlong as if they were falling it is a sign of rain.
When the cricket sings it is going to rain.
When the curlew whistles, the whistle for rain.
When the swallows fly high it is a sign of good weather.Francis Mollaghan, Cartron, Drumlish, Co. Longford. 13.10.37
