    is a sign of storm.
    When we hear the wind whistling it is a sign of storm.
    When we see a blue blaze in the fire it is a sign of rain and storm.
    When we see white strokes in the sky and a lot of stars its a sign of storm and thunder
    When we see a fog coming in the mountain and down the hollows its a sign of rain.
    When we hear a jack snipe roaring it is a sign of rain.
    When we see a frog crossing a street it is a sign of bad weather.
    When a cat sharpens their nails on a piece of timber it is a sign of snow.
