  1. (continued from previous page)
    Twinkling or falling stars and noisy rivers foretell frost.
    A fog going up Nephin is the sign of good weather. A fog coming down is the very opposite.
    We generally have rain when the soot falls down the chimney; when the walls or floors are damp and when raking the fire at night if sulphurous lights are seen in the ashes.
    If black-birds, thrushes, robins or other small little birds come round the door we know that snow is coming.
