- (continued from previous page)When there is a ring around the moon
When the hills seem nearer at times than at other times.
When the worms come up the top of the clay.Signs of fine weather
When there is a fog in the morning
When the dust rises from the road
When the smoke goes up straight from the chimney
When the bat is flying around the house.Old sayings about the weather
Evening red, and morning grey , that's the sure sign of a fine day.
Evening grey, morning red, makes the sailor shake his head.Signs of storms
When the cat scrapes a stick.Heard from:- Catherine Tannian, age 80 years, Colemanstown, Menlough.
- Signs of rain
