  1. (continued from previous page)
    dust whirls on the road. The midges bite when it is going to rain and the roads are covered with flying mires. The smoke goes up straight from the chimney when it is going to rain. It is a sign of storm to see a blue blaze in the fire at night. When the fog goes up in the morning it is a sign of rain but when it falls it is a sign of good weather.
