  1. Weather Signs V

    Share Share Post
    If the crows go under a stone wall instead of going home it is a sign of storm
    Fine weather is expected when cows go to the highest part of the field
    When frogs change colour fine weather is expected
    When the robin sings under a bush sign of rain
    When rain-drops remain on the window-panes more rain follows
