    When the Market House pump whistles we are sure to have rain.
    When the asses bray it is the sign of storm.
    When a cement floor is damp without reason, it is a sure sign of rain.
    When the Seagull comes inland it is the sign of storm.
    When the robin flies high it is it is the sign of good weather.
