    When a cat walks with his tail up or scratches the leg of the table or if the fire roars it is the sign of a storm.
    If clouds sail swiftly by, a storm will follow.
    If the stars shine brightly it is the sign of frost.
    Keep a piece of seaweed on a window, if it dries it is a sign of fine weather and if it gets moist, you will have rain.
