The call of a curlew is a sign of rain. Dogs eat grass before rain. It is a sign of rain to see a circle round the sun or moon and the farther the circle is away from the sun or the moon the nearer the rain is. A cat sitting with its back to the fire in Winter is a sign of snow. When mountains appear near rain is expected.When smoke goes up straight from a chimney it is a sign of good weather. Other signs of good weather are when a mist ascends from a mountain or when a cricket sings. During frost the river can be heard flowing distinctly.Maureen O'Reilly.
