  1. Weather Lore.
    when the sun goes down very pale in the evening it is said that the following day will be wet and when it goes down red it is a sign of good weather.
    When dark clouds move very quickly across the sky it is a sign of bad weather. When there is a circle around the moon it is also a sign of bad weather. When there are a great number of stars in the sky at night it is a sign of frost.
