    Weather Lore
    2nd February 1938
    When there is a cloud on the top of a mountain and if it rises clear off it , it is the sign of good weather .If it falls down on the sides of it , it is the sign of bad weather.
    If the fords of the rivers are making a rough noise it is the sign of a flood.
    When the wind is blowing in harvest if it whistles on wires or anything it is the sign of bad weather.
