- (continued from previous page)weather.
A dark frog is a sign of rain while one of bright yellow means sunshine.
A bright halo round the moon says rain as does an unusual number of beetles crawling about.
Old folk can tell by the rustling of poplar leaves if rain is coming.
Streamers from the sun or goat beard clouds mean rain too.
- When the sky is full of fleecy clouds which people call "wool packs" it is considered a sign of snow. The robin coming into the house and a flock of wild geese, flying towards the south also tell that snow is not far off.
