    Signs of the weather from smoke, fire and soot.
    1. When the smoke goes straight up into the air out of the chimney it is the sign of rain.
    2. When the house is filled with smoke it is the sign of rain.
    3. When there are blue flames in the fire it is the sign of rain.
    4. When the soot falls down the chimney it is the sign of rain.
