    The following are sayings about the Weather
    When a cat sits with back to the fire rain is said to be near at hand.
    When a mare stands with her back to wind rain is said to be approaching.
    These are a few local sayings:
    "Mackerel skies and mares' tails
    Make ships carry low sails"
    "The north wind is in the East
    It is neither good for man nor beast"
    "When the wind is in the West
    Then it is the very best."
