    When the sky is red the people say in the distric of Shankill it is the sign of frost. If it is a still evening and smoke is coming from the chimney straigh up into the air, the people say it is a sure sign of rain. Some people say if thire corns are paining them it is a sign of rain. More people say if thire feet is paining them it is a sign of fog. If the sky is full of white clouds, and is very cold it is the sign of snow.
