- The signs of good weather are: -
To see lightening without thunder or rain. To see a cat washing his ears and to hear the fowls screeching early in the day. To have a rainbow at night.
The signs of bad weather are: -
Frogs to come into the house. To hear a dog crying. To have pains in your bones or your ? aching. To see blue rays in the sky. To hear the singing peculiarly. To see the sky flock together in one corner of the field. To see a lot of flies a summer's evening.
The signs of frost are: -
When you can see your breath a very cold evening without a piercing wind.
Signs of snow: -
The clouds to be low. The wind to be piercing cold.
