When the snipes leave the mountains and come down to the lowlands it is the sign of stormy weather. When wild geese fly about our district it is another sign of bad weather.
The northern lights either in winter or in summer are a sure sign of bad weather
The sun with back stays is a sign of rain.
A glassy sun is another sign of rain.
Another sign of bad weather is the tide being very strong
A sign of good weather is the sea not rising high on the beach nor falling very low
Another sign of bad weather is when fishing lobsters we find that the lobsters carry a stone into the creel for ballast.
