    A rainbow at night is the shepherds delight and a rainbow in the morning is the shepherds warning.
    Signs of snow
    When the wind is blowing from the north.
    When the east winds are very cold and harsh.
    Sign of rain
    When flies come into the house.
    When there is a shine on the rocks.
    When you hear the wood pigeon crying.
