When flying ants look for shelter, rain is going to come. When the clouds are blue, stones may fall from the sky. When cumulus clouds become heaped in a leeward fashion with a strong wind at sunset, thunder may be expected during the night. A month that comes in good goes out bad. It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.
Wolves always howl more before a storm.
When squirrels bury their nuts early, it will be a hard winter. If you hear an owl hoot in the daytime, a storm is approaching. If the first snow falls on unfrozen ground, expect a mild winter. If fruit trees bloom in the fall, the weather will be severe the following winter. It will be a bad winter if trees keep their leaves until late in the fall.
