- It is a sure sign of rain when the mountains are covered with mist.
When the clouds are black.
When the cat sticks her claws in the leg of the table.
When a cement floor becomes wet.
When people's corns are sore
It is a sure sign of good weather when the sky is blue.
when the sky is red in the evening and bronze in the morning.
When the clouds are nice and white.
It is a sure sign of a thunderstorm when the deer come down from the mountains
When the sheep all gather into the woods.
