- (continued from previous page)of good weather. Here are the signs of bad weather. When the fog is on the hill. When you see a dark brown frog. When you hear the weir at "the cotton mill" it is a sign of bad rainy weather and when you hear the weir at Slane Castle it is a sign of good weather. When the smoke goes down to the ground it is a sign of bad rainy weather. When you see the crows going back home and one turns back it is a sign of bad rainy weather. When the cattle and sheep are lying together it is a sign of bad weather.
The Cotton Mill lies about 2 miles directly south from here and the other weir is about three miles southeast of here. It is seldom heard because Barristown hill is in the way.
