  2. Weather Signs

    Share Share Post
    (1) If Baltinglass Hill seems very near the town it is a sign of wet weather.
    (2) If the Slaney river roars at the Weir it is a sign of a wet time.
    (3) If there is a circle to be seen round the moon at night that is a sign of a storm.
    (4) If cockroaches are crawling in large numbers on the floor, it is a sign of rain.
    (5) If the crows fly high there is to be lovely weather.
