    It is said that we shall have a storm when the crows remain flying over the rookery in the morning.
    The old people in the district say that we may soon have frost when they see a red sunset. To see many stars in the sky is also a sign of frost. If a circle is seen around the moon it is said that we shall have frost. The nearer the circle is to the moon the sooner we will have frost.
