  1. When hills far away look near it is a sign of rain. When the fire is dull it is a sign of rain. When the fire is good it is a sign of good weather. When the wind is in the east it is a sign of bad weather. If there is a rainbow in the east on a Saturday the following week will be bad. When the moon is clouded it is a sign of rain. When the cat sits beside the fire at night with his head turned away - it is a sign of rain.
