- (continued from previous page)Weather LoreWhen the hills seem near this is the sign of rain.
When the sheep come down from the hills it the of sign of weather but when they stay high up on them it is the sign of fine weather.
When the stars fall it will rain.
When the cat puts her back to the fire it wil rain.
When you see a rainbow in the morning it will rain.
When the horse rubs the car with his nose it will rain.
When there is snow out the floors get damp before the thaw.
When the ash is out before the oak it is a wet Summer. But when the oak is out before the ash it is a dry Summer.- Collector
