- I got this story from my uncle Charles. he is 70 years of age. He tells me when you see the stars very bright it is a sign of rain or frost. When you hear the birds singing it is a sign of good weather.
When there is a blue blaze in the fire it is the sign of a storm.
When it is very cold in the evenings it is a sign of good weather the next day.
It is an old saying that when you see the moon coming and going away again it is a good sign of the weather.
It is an old saying that when you see the waves and the sun out and the birds going mad it is a sign of a spill
Old people said in olden times that when they saw a ring around the rainbow it was a sign of ice and frost and snow.
