  1. If a rainbow is in the west in the morning it is a sign of rain.
    A cold wind comes from the north.
    If a cock crows late in the evening it is a sign of rain.
    If chimneys do not draw the smoke it is a sign of rain.
    If the smoke goes straight out of the chimneys it is a good sign.
    If the oak blooms before the ash we will have a splash, if the ash blooms before the oak we will have a soak.
