SIGNS OF STORMS APPROACHING.
A ring around the sun or moon stands for an approaching storm, its
near or distant approach being indicated
by its larger or smaller circumference.
When the sun rises brightly and
immediately afterward becomes veiled
with clouds, the farmer distrusts the
day.
Rains which begin early in the morning often stop by nine in place of
"eleven," the hour specified in the old saw, "If it rains before seven."
On a still, quiet day, with scarcely the least wind afloat, the ranchman
or farmer can tell the direction of impending storm by cattle sniffing
the air in the direction whence it is coming. |
