  1. Some times people are able to give a forecast of the weather by different signs. Some times they judge by the direction of the wind and by a circle around the moon.
    When the circle around the moon is near, the storm is far off and when far away from the moon the storm is near.
    When the wind blows from the north or north-east we have very cold weather and some times snow and very heavy frost.
