- (continued from previous page)I got this story from:
Mr. Flanagan
Blessington
Co. Wicklow.
- Weather LoreSigns of rain
If spiders are seen on the wall it is a sign of rain
If there is a dampness in floors and walls.
When a dog eats grass.
When crows rest in numbers on the green sod.
When there is a circle around the moon.
When the clouds look black.Signs of good weather
When birds fly high in the sky it is a sign of good weather.Signs of snow
When a blue fog surrounds a place.
When stars drop snow shall follow
When a cat sits with its back to the fire, it is a sign of snow.
When the animals flock into the valleys. - Collector
