- (continued from previous page)each morning the sty will go by the ninth day.
- When things far away look near it is a sign of bad weather.
When you hear the ducks quacking it is a sign of rain.
When there is a mist on Carn Mountain it is a sure sign of rain.
When you see a flock of wild geese it foretells storm.
When the wind blows from the south it is an omen of rain.
When the old people complain of intense rheumatism they say rain is surely at hand. - Collector
