    out of the train it is the sign of fine weather. When you see sea-gulls on the land when there is frost it is the sign of rain. When you see a blackbird at the door it is the sign of snow. When you see sut[?] falling it is the sign of rain. When you see the crows flying low it is the sign of rain. When you see red lines in the sky it is the sign of snow.
