    If smoke blows down a chimney it is a sign of rain.
    If soot falls down a chimney its a sign of rain.
    When the swallows flies high its a sign of sunny weather.
    If there is a ring around the moon its a sign of rain.
    If the sky is covered with stars its the sign of frost.
    When the sun is red it is the sign of fine weather.

    If the sun is clouded when going down its a sign of rain.
    When a cat scrapes wood its a sign of a storm.
