    When there's a circle around the moon it's said that the nearer the circle the further away is the storm, and the further the circle, the nearer the storm.
    When a guinea-hen roars, rain comes.
    When the cat puts her back to the fire, it is a sign of storm.
    Wild geese flying from the hills forecasts storm.
    When hens pick their feathers, rain comes.
