    When the snow lies behind the ditch it is a sign of more to follow.
    If the swallow comes early it is a sign that Summer will be early.
    When the crows fly low then it is going to rain and when they fly high it is a sign of good weather.
    When the crow cries loudly it is a sign of storm.
    When the sea gulls cry loudly it is a sign of storm too.
