If the sea-gulls were flying around on a Winter's day that is a sign that there will be a storm. If there was a fog on the bottoms that is a sign that the next day will be very warm. If the frogs were crossing the road at night that is the sign of broken weather. If the north wind was blowing very cold on a Winter's day that is a sign of snow.
