Weather Lore
If the cows go up high on the hills it is a sign of good weather.
If the cows come down to the lowlands it is a sign of bad weather.
If the swallows fly high it is a sign of good weather.
If there is a ring round the moon at night it is a sign of snow.
If the stars glitter at night it is a sign of frost.
If there is a noise in Lake Allen it is a sign of food weather.
