    The sky would be cloudy when there is going to be snow. Crows sit on the ditch, robins fly up high in the trees, and swallows fly low when it is going to rain. Insects leave off working, the sky gets dark when it is going to rain. When there would be frost there would be a large number of stars in the sky.
