   Weather Lore Signs of rain When the sun goes down quick in the evening. When there are a lot of flys in the window. When you hear the streams in a frosty morning. When the birds are flying low. When the floor is wet and when it dries very quickly. When the worms are down far in the clay. Heard from: John Nolan, age 75 years Colemanstown, Menlough.
