    When a goat is high on a mountain and then comes down that is a sign that there is going to be a storm of rain or snow.
    When the robin sings at the butt of a bush that is a sign of rain and when she sings on the top of a bush that is a sign of good weather.
    When cattle are eating quickly in the evening it is a sign that rain is coming. If a cat is sitting at the fire and has his back to the fire it is a sign of a rain storm.
    If a cat scrapes the wall with his nails it is the sign of wind
