  1. An Aimsear.
    Long ago people knew signs of bad and good weather of storms ,rain frost,and snow.According to the old people rain would be coming when the cat would have his back to the fire.Also,when the dog would go eating grass.The frog changes his coat ,the geese fly against the wind when bad weather is coming.
    It is not the animals alone that show signs but the moon and streams.Fog comes on the moon when bad weather is coming.
