    a storm we see sheep flocking together. It is a sign of rain if we see blue blazes in the fire. If we see smoke going up straight out of a chimney it is the sign of fine weather. If we see a cat sitting beside the fire washing his face it is the sign of rain. Salt getting damp is the sign of rain.
