    Sign of Snow.
    To see the blackbird and the robin coming to the door.
    When a hen picks herself in the evening
    When the Woodcock is flying about.
    When a pig scratches himself against the wall.
    Sign of Good Weather:
    When a frog comes in from the sea.
    To hear the birds singing.
    To see the crowd flying high.
    When a mist comes in from the sea.
    When a cat lies on the tongs.
