    When the sky is low and (..) wind very cold and sharp it is the sign of snow. When a person's corn is sore it is the sign of rain. When there is a blue light in the fire it is the sign of rain. When the sky is bright and starry it is the sign of a storm. The south wind brings the keenest and coldest rain to our district. When wild geese come it is the sign of frost. If the sun comes out very early in the morning it will be a bad day.
