    If you see smoke from the fire going up straight, and if you see a rainbow up in the evening it is another sign of fine weather. When the morning looks bad, and if you see a blue piece of sky under the sun it is a sign that it will make a fine day. If you see the distant hills looking far away it is a sign of fine weather.
    Signs of frost.
    If you see blue blazes in the fire, and when you see the stars glittering in the sky spotted like mackeral it is a sign of frost.
