    weather. When the smoke falls to the ground and spreads along with the slight current of air look out for rain before night. When we hear the Buttevant train i is a sign of fine weather. But when we hear the Banter train it is a sign of rain. Wen it is raining and the cock gets a fit of crowing it is going to clear. When the siobháinín Riabhach, wagtail, is around the yard look otu for wet weather. When we hear the road of the water in the ford of the Long-Hole in the river. Allow there will be wild wet weather. Then we can hear Poll-a-geloga somewhere near Ballybunnion sounding like thunder in the winter it is a sure sign of stormy weather.
