    If it has been a wet day and it's going to be a good evening the cocks will crow.
    If there is a rainbow in the sky it is a sign of a good evening.
    When there is a ring round the moon and it is beside the moon the storm is far away.
    When the wind blows from the North there will be frost.
    If the air gets close or warm in the winter time it is a sign of snow.
