  1. If November day is fine the three parts of the year will be fine. If it ???? snows or rains or if it is windy the three parts of the year will be the same. When the clouds move swiftly across the sky rain may be expected. When the frost is coming the sun is real bright. A circle around the moon tells us there will be rain. When rats eat haws it is a sign of a hard winter. When the cat sits with his back to the fire it tells that a storm is coming.
