  1. When the swallow flies low it is a sign of rain. When we have a rain bow in the sky it is a sign that God will never drown the world. If the sun goes down red it is a sign that the next day will be fine. A circle round the moon is a sign of rain. When the stars are shining bright it is a sign of frost.When the clouds are running fast is a sign of a storm. When the wind blows North it is a sign of snow.
