When the crickets are singing in the hob hole it is a sign of rain. When the chimney puffs back the smoke it is a sign of rain:-
When the soot falls down the chimney. When the dogs get sleepy. When the spiders creep from the cobwebs and when the ducks quack. When the geese fly and quack it is a sign of rain. When the frog changes his coat from yellow to russet it denotes rain. - Collector
