Weather Folk Magic
- Cows lay down before a storm. (The tighter their group the worse the storm will be.)
- Sheep seek higher ground before a storm.
- Hornets build their nests higher if the winter is going to be harsher.
- Tough skin on apples and thick corn husks mean very cold winters.
- A snowy winter means a plentiful harvest the following Autumn.
- Leaves on trees (maples being one) turn their undersides up before a thunder storm.
- The number of harsh fogs in August will be equal to harsh storms in winter.
