    weather. Cats scraping is a sign of wind. Hens picking their feathers is a sign of rain.
    Sayings:-
    The north wind does blow and we shall have snow,
    February fills the dyke with black and white.
    Wind from the east is neither good for man or beast.
    Wild wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay.
    When the auroraborealis is seen it is the sure sign of a storm. When the moon is turned on its back it is a sign of rain.
