    A fog coming down Keeper denotes
    rain while a fog going up Keeper is the
    sign of good weather. When dust rises
    off the road it denotes rain. When the
    ants fly it denotes rain. When the
    smoke ascends directly up from the chimney
    it denotes good weather and when it
    inclines to turn down it denotes rain.
