   The old people have many sayings about the weather changes of the year.When the sky is blue and clear it is the sign of fine weather,but when the sky is black and dead it is the sign of bad weather.When the sun is bogged in the sky it is the sign of weather.Also when there is a ring around the moon ,or when the old moon is seen in it it is the sign of bad weather.If the clouds are black and gloomy it is the sign of bad weather.When the wind is from the south west it is the sign of bad weather also when the wind is from the north it is a sign of snow. When sheep gather together in flocks it is a sign of a storm.When the swallows are flying low it is the sign of bad weather also when sea-gulls come in from the sea it is the sign of a storm at sea.When
   the animals go up to the high pinacles it is the sign of fine weather.When the cat has his back turned to the fire it is the sign of bad weather.Also when the dog eats grass it is the sign of rain When the colour of the sky is dark and gloomy it is the sign of bad weather,but also when the sky is clear it is the sign of fine weather.
