    It is said that if we see a robin coming into a house it is a bad sign of a storm.
    If there's a big lot of haws on the bushes it is said it is a sign of a storm also, because it is said that God has grown them for to feed the birds that are out in the storm. If we see swallows flying low it is a sign of rain.
