Some folk signs about the weather

Predicting the weather by popular signs is an invaluable inheritance that we received from ancestors who observed the nature and interconnection of all living things in it. Signs helped the farmers determine the beginning of sowing, harvesting, the onset of cold or thaw.

Of course, for a modern man all this has lost some of its relevance, but it still does not become unnecessary knowledge.
