    sign of good weather. When a dog eats grass it is the sign of a storm. When the sky is blue and clear it is the sign of good weather. When the hills look near there will be bad weather. When the lakes are black and dark there will be rain soon after. When the smoke goes up straight out of the chimneys there will be good weather. When the soot is falling there will be rain.
