  2. Weather Signs

    Share Share Post
    When sun goes down in a "crows nest", we will have a wet next day.
    A "broken rainbow" is a sign of showery weather.
    When a cat sits with his back to the fire, it is a sign of storm - usually snow.
    If an ass "brays", it is a sign of rain.
    A very blue flame in the fire, is a sign of snow and frost.
    When soot falls down it is a sign of rain.
    A "blow-down" of smoke foretells rain.
    When a cat scrapes a stick, a door, or any wood, it is a sign of storm.
