    To see a blue flame in the fire is the sign of storm. If it rains with the east wind we are sure to have rain for two days. It is the north wind that brings snow. When the smoke goes up straight in the air it is a sign of fine weather, but if it falls down it is a sign of rain.
    When a crowd of crows are flying and seeming to fall it is a sign of rain. It is my grand father told me those signs.
