   To see a red sunset in the morning or numbers of stars at night is the sign of frost.

   We expect good weather, when there is a red moon, when there is mist on a lake, or when the smoke comes out of the chimney straight.

   We expect rain when the wind blows from the east, or when we see large numbers of midges.

   People say to see the swallows fly low, to see many insects at night, and to see the clouds get dark are signs of rain. When we see a red sunset, we expect good weather. When there is a blue flame in the fire or when animals come near the house, we shall have storm.
