More Weather Sayings
If animals have an especially thick coat of fur, expect a cold winter.
When squirrels bury their nuts early, it will be a hard
winter
Hornets' nest built in the top of trees indicate a mild
winter is ahead; nests built close to the ground indicate that a harsh winter
is coming.
If you hear an owl hoot in the daytime, a storm is
approaching.
When clouds look like rocks and towers, the earth will be
refreshed by showers.
When clouds look like chicken scratches or mare's tails
it will soon rain.
High clouds indicate fine weather will prevail; lower
clouds mean rain.
Smoke that curls downward and lingers means a nearing
storm.
Roosting birds indicate a storm, because thinning air is
harder to fly in.
If the rooster goes crowing to bed, he'll certainly rise
with a watery head.
A warm November is the sign of a bad winter.
If the woolly worm's (a type of caterpillar) head is more
black than colored, the coldest part of the winter will come in the first
months of winter.
If fruit trees bloom in the fall, the weather will be
severe the following winter.
If the first snow falls on unfrozen ground, expect a mild
winter.
If spiders leave their webs, expect rain
Spiders enlarge and repair their webs before bad weather.
"Rainbow in the morning,
Shepherds take warning.
Rainbow toward night,
Shepherd’s delight.
Rainbow at noon,
Rain very soon."
Weather Fact
