This is cute....

WEATHER FOLKLORE:


NEWS and weather.they travel together.
A sunshiny shower won't last half an hour.
Rain, rain go away...come back another day.
Clear moon, frost soon.




When sea birds fly to land there truly is a storm at hand.
To talk of the weather is nothing but folly;
when it rains on the hill, it suns in the valley.
It rains as long as it takes rain to come.
The sharper the blast, the sooner it's past.



Rainbow at noon, more rain soon.
The south wind brings wet weather..
the north wind, wet and cold together;
the west wind always brings us rain..
the east wind blows it back again.




When a cow tries to scratch her ear
it means a shower is very near.
Onionskin is very thin, mild winter is coming in.
Onionskin is thick and tough winter will be cold and rough.
Ice in November to walk a duck,
the winter will be all rain and muck.






Rainbow in the east, sailors at peace.
Rainbow in the west, sailors in distress.
Pale moon doth rain, red moon doth blow,
white moon doth neither rain nor snow.
When the dew is on the grass,
rain will never come to pass.



Rainbow in the morning, shepherds take warning;
rainbow at night, shepherds' delight.
