Weather Sayings

Just for some fun. What weather sayings do you know (please - they should have some truth to them:


1- Red sky at night, sailors delight - red sky in the morning, sailor take warning

2- Mares tails and mackeral scales make tall ships take in their sails

3- When geese honk ahigh - there will be fair weather, when geese honk low - foul weather

4- Old Danish saying - When the sun sets in a cloud train - we will get awake to pouring rain


any more?
