- The people around the locality of Cappawhite have many weather signs. They say when the curleurs are heard whistling in the sky it is the sign of bad weather. A mackree on a speckled sky is the sign of fine weather. When the train is heard from a far distance it signifies bad weather. When the cricket is heard we can be sure of bad weather.
A blue flame in the fire is a sign of frost. They say on St Sweeten's day if it rains we will have forty days rain but the sign the people have for the weather on that day is if the cows leave the milking bawn with a dry tail. We will have fine weather.
