Here are some Weather Proverbs, Folklore, Prognostics about Animals
Observe animals and you'll see that they, too, have their own ways of
predicting weather. Here are some animal weather proverbs and prognostics:
Expect rain when dogs eat grass, cats purr and wash, sheep turn into the
wind, oxen sniff the air, and swine are restless.
If the bull leads the cows to pasture, expect rain; if the cows precede the
bull, the weather will be uncertain.
When cats sneeze, it is a sign of rain.
When cattle lie down in the pasture, it indicates early rain.
Bats flying late in the evening indicates fair weather.
If the groundhog sees its shadow on Candlemas Day (February 2), six more
weeks of winter remain.
When horses and cattle stretch out their necks and sniff the air, it will
rain.
If the mole digs its hole 2½ feet deep, expect severe weather; if two feet
deep, not so severe; if one foot deep, a mild winter.
When pigs gather leaves and straw in all, expect a cold winter.
When rabbits are fat in October and November, expect a long, cold winter.
If sheep ascend hills and scatter, expect clear weather.
Wolves always howl more before a storm.
(These are better than reading Pig spleens, right?)
