    When an asses tail is turned towards the wind its a sign of rain.
    When seagulls are flying low it's a sign of rain.
    When there are two rainbows in the sky, its the sign of good weather.
    When a train is heard in a distance its a sign of frost.
    When smoke is going direct to the sky it is a sign of frost.
    When soot is coming down the chimney it's the sign of rain.
    When the sky is red it is the sign of good weather.
