"When the stars begin to huddle, the earth will soon become a puddle."

"Rainbow to windward, foul fall the day; Rainbow to leeward, rain runs away."

"The moon and the weather may change together, But a change of the moon, will not change the weather."

" When grass is dry at morning light, Look for rain before the night. "

" Chimney smoke descends, our nice weather ends."

" The farther the sight, the nearer the rain."

" The first and last frosts are the worst. "
