  1. Weather Lore
    When the soot and smoke come down the chimney it is going to rain. When a cat is sitting with her back to the fire it is going to rain. When there is a fog on Lugdunum it is the sign of rain.
    When a rainbow comes in the morning it is the sign of a storm. When we see the birds coming in around the house it is the sign of rain.
