   Weather - Lore

   The old people have a lot of signs about the sun and the moon. When the sun goes down dark to - morrow will be wet and stormy. If the sun comes out whilst it's raining showers will continue for a few days. If the sun as it rises is pale long showers will occur. "A res sun in the morning has water in his eye. If red the sun begins his race, he sure the rain will fall a pace". If the sun goes pale to bed Iwill rain - morrow it is said. If the moon is encircled by a ring rain is expected.
