- (continued from previous page)If the sun goes down red in the evening it is a sign of frost.
If the cuckoo comes on a bare tree sell your cow and buy corn.When you see the dust rising from the roads you may be expecting rain.
When you see a blue flame in the fire it is a sign of wind.
If a dog is sleepy in the day time it is a sign of rain
When smoke goes up straight from a chimney it is a sign of good weather
When you see a lot of crows light on a hill in the evening it is a sign of rain.
