- Weather signs
When the smoke is going up straight it's the sign of good weather. If its not straight it is the sign of rain.
When the crows are lying on the fields it is the sign of rain. When they fly high its the sign of good weather. When the wild geese fly to the Bay of Allen its a bad sign.
When there's a blue blaze in the fire its the sign of a wind storm.
