    The woods make a great noise before a storm is coming.
    When soot falls down the chimney it is a sign of rain.
    When a dog is seen eating grass it is a sign of rain.
    When smoke is going straight from the chimney it is a sign of good weather.
    When far off hills seem very near it is a sign of rain.
    When they seem far away it is a sign of a warm day.
    When slates are wet after a rainfall it is a sign of more rain.
