    Old people regard the following as being signs of rain:
    When the moon is on its back.
    When the sky is dark or cloudy.
    If the soot falls down the chimney.
    The following is a sign of frost:
    If the stars are falling down from the sky.
    If the smoke is going towards the south.
    If the dust is on the roadside.
    If a spider is swinging off a cob web
