Local sayings Reddening on the sky, lightning in the night is the sign of bad weather. When the cats turn their backs to the fire and when the dogs eat grass it is the sign of bad weather. When the sky darkens and when the clouds begin to go in the sky it is the sign of bad weather. When the hills seem to be near you and when the dust begins to rise off the road it is the sign of bad weather. When the clocks and spiders begin to come out in the yard or outhouses it is the sign of bad weather. When the smoke stays inside and when the soot falls down the chimney and when the fire does not light up it is the sign of bad weather being bad.
