  1. Weather Lore. Bad
    The following are regarded as signs of bad weather.
    Soot falling.
    The mountains appearing near.
    Crows flying low.
    A ring around the moon.
    Stones getting damp.
    Seagulls lying on a hill.
    Blue light in the fire.
    A dog eating grass.
    When the sun goes down behind a black bank.
    A fog with a new moon.
    When you see insects going towards the fire.
    A dog drinking water.
    A cat scraping timber.
    Swarms of flies everywhere tormenting people and beasts.
    A rainbow in the morning.
