- (continued from previous page)If sheep leave a hill or high ground and come down to the low lands and to shelter it is a sign of stormy weather.Old people who are subject to pains in their bones or rheumatism know when a change in the weather is near.If a cock was heard crowing as a storm was decreasing the old people said it was a good sign that the storm was passing away and that no danger was to be feared.If the wild geese are seen flying south it is regarded as a sign that bad weather is coming, and if they are seen going north it is looked upon as a sign of good weather.Michael Walsh.
