    and a red sky in the morning is the sailors warning.
    There is a story about smoke if the smoke goes straight it will be a fine day tomorrow. If the smoke goes crooked there will be rain tomorrow.
    It is said that February is the wettest month and that is how it fills the dyke. If February brings no rain there will be neither corn nor hay.
    It is said that a dry March never beggs it head. "If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb. If it comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion.
    There is a saying if it thunders on all fools day it brings goods crops of corn and hay.
