- (continued from previous page)When people see wild duck or wild geese it is a sign that there will be a very bad winter
When the trees are covered with hawes it is a sign that a lot of snow will fall in the winter.
When the wind blows from the north-east it is a sign of snow.
When we get a very fine summer it is the sign of a bad winter
When the rooster builds her nest down low we will have a stormy winter
A far away ring round the moon is the sign of a near storm.
The evening red and the morning grey gives us the sign of a very fine day the evening grey and the morning red sends the shepherd wet to bed
Rainbow at night is the shepherds delight rainbow in the morning is the shepherds warning
