    Bright starry nights are said to be a sign of frost.
    It's said to be a sign of rain if the crane is seen along the banks of rivers, but if flying in the direction of the Shannon good weather.
    If swallows fly high good weather is expected and if low bad weather.
    It's a sign of storm to see a goat coming down from the top of a hill in winter.
