    sloes and haws it is a sign of a very stormy winter. When a horse stands with his back to a ditch it's a sign of a wet day.
    Signs of good Weather:-
    When the smoke goes up straight, when swallows fly high, when the moon stands on it's end, when there is a blue sky, when an ass tumbles in a field it is a sign of good day. When mists rise from the side of a river it is a sign of a good day.
    When there is a blue blaze in the fire it is a sign of a storm. When ducks quak loudly it is a sign of frost.
