- When the crows begin to make noise and fly high, it is the sign of a storm.
When the wild geese move, it is a sign of snow.
When the curlew is screeching and running along the ground it is a sign of rain
When the sky is starry it is a sign of frost.
When there is a circle around the moon it is a sign of rain
When the sun is red in the east in winter it is a sign of rain.
When the wind comes from the north it is a sign of a fine, dry day.
