  1. (continued from previous page)
    Limestone walls sweat when it is going to rain
    If smoke rises straight up from the chimney it is a sign of good weather
    Dogs eat grass when rain is near
    Cats tear at the mats when we are going to have rain
    When the wind is blowing from the North, it is a sign of snow
    Horses gather in corners when it is going to rain
