  1. Signs of rain are -
    It is great sign of wet weather to have a persons corns be aching. I often heard a person saying didnt I tell you that the day would be wet because my corns were aching
    If the soot is falling down the chimney it is another sign of bad weather
    If the fire is blue it is the sign of bad weather
    If the rocks of the red strand are roaring like thunder it is a sign of good weather
    When the Sandescove rocks are roaring it is the sign of bad weather.
    When the cat washes his face it is a sign of good weather
