- (continued from previous page)It is an old saying that after rain, if there is a blue space in the sky that would make a womans apron it is a sure sign of good weather.
- When the crows are noisy it is a sign of rain.When the sky is clear it is a sign of stormy weather.When the cat turns his back to the fire it is a sign of cold weather.South winds are the sign of rain.When there is a fog over Tallow Hill it is a sign of rain.When the smoke goes up straight it is a sign of rain.
