- Signs of rain.
When the dog eats grass.
When crickets begin to chirp.
When far off hills seem to be nearer.
When soot falls down.
When there is a ring around the moon.
Signs of a storm.
When the swallows and the crows skim along the ground.
Sign of good weather.
When the dog seems lively.
When the swallows and crows do not skim along the ground.
Signs of frost.
When the dew begins to fall fast and the stars begin twinkling.
When a light fog rises.When all the haws remain on the whitethorn it is a sign of severe weather.
