  1. (continued from previous page)
    When we are going to have snow the wind is blowing from the North.
    Other signs of rain are the crows in their flight imitate that of a kite, or a puff down on the chimney, or the soot falls down, and the spiders creep about the walls.
    When the sun sets pale, it is a sign of rain, if the sun sets red it is a sign of frost, if the sun sets bright and dazzling it is a sign of good weather.
    The people judge the weather by those signs in this district, sometimes their prophecy is right, and sometimes their prophecy is not right.
