    (continued from previous page)
    On a summer's evening if the sun sets red it is the sign of good weather, but if it sets cloudy it is the sign of bad weather.
    When you see a new moon and the old one appears with it is the sign of bad weather.
    When the stars in the sky are very numerous and seem to be flying through the air it is the sign of bad weather.
    It is the sign of wet weather when the soot falls from the chimney.
