    when it blows from the North there will be frost and crispy weather.
    When it is going to rain the dog eats grass.
    If there is a circle round the moon it is the sign of storm.
    When the crows fly high in the evening it is a sign that the next day will be good.
    When the East wind blows it is a sign of rain.
    When the stars are glittering at night it is a sign of frost.
    If a mist goes up it will come down in rain.
    When the midges bite it is a sign of rain.
