   Many people in Drogheda use old sayings for the weather. Signs for rain:-
   Loud quack the ducks
   The peacocks cry.
   The Distant hills are looking nigh
   Old women's joints are on the rack
   Puss on the hearth with velvet paws
   Wiping o'er her whiskers & jaws
   The spiders from their cobwebs creep
   Last night the Sun went pale to bed

   A Red Sky at night is the Shepherd's delight
   But a red Sky in the morning is a Sailor's warning.

   If the fog rises high it is for rain, but when it is low it is a sign of heat. When the curlews cry it is a sign of rain.
   It is said of the circle round the moon that the farther away the circle the nearer the storm.
   When swallows fly low it is a sign of rain.
