    Saturday's moon was always a bad omen. The old people said - 'Saturdays' moon comes seven years too soon.
    Spring wells which in fine weather got shallow and flowed slowly, and rose again to the brim and flowed quickly was a sign of rain.
    When a dog eats grass is also a sign of rain.
    When the fire got blue it was a sign of a hard frost.
    When a storm was approaching the smoke whirled going up the chimney.
