- (continued from previous page)(col) cold in the north. When smoke is coming straight, out of a chimney fine weather is expected.
When a crane is going down a river it is a sign of rain, and when a crane goes up a river fine weather is supposed to come. Goats come home when a storm is expected and sheep keep low in the hills Also insects come up on the top of the ground
Old people complain of their pains and aches when a storm is expected. They say that they get worse.
