  1. These are the signs of snow:
    The North wind blowing.
    The East wind blowing.
    A drake quacking.
    These are the signs of frost:
    The stars glittering.
    The fire green.
    When a cat sits with its back to a fire is a sign of changing weather.
    These are the signs of storms:
    Seagulls flying inland.
    The dogs crying.
    The horses under trees.
    The sky mackerel.
    These are the signs of fine weather:
    Cock crowing in the morning.
    A red sky at night.
    Swallows flying high.
    When the morning is wet and the cock crows.
