- When you see sheep in a cloister it is the sign of rain. When you see wild geese in the sky in the beginning of Winter, it is the sign of a hard Winter. When you see sun setting red in the summer it is the sign of a fine day and when you see it setting red in the Winter it is the sign of frost. When you see swallows flying in the Summer it is the sign of a fine day. At night if the moon is shining brightly and there is a circle round it, some people say there is a storm near hand.
