Nature's creatures often offer the best clues to changing weather so watch for unusual or changes in behavior.
House pets - dogs and cats - will often sleep more than usual before a major storm system brings heavy rains or snow.
Birds tend to flock together and fly low in advance of a storm or low pressure system. Birds may also gather on wires in larger than normal numbers.
Bees are said to fly straight to the hive before rain arrives.
Hear frogs croaking? Rain is coming.
Wild animals become restless in advance of major weather systems. Animals may also act strangely or be less shy before strong systems that may spawn tornadoes or hurricanes.
If winds die down and leaves are very still, prepare for a storm. It's the calm before the storm and often more intense the storm, the stiller things become.
Use these age old weather sayings to help judge the weather. Look for changes in the world around us and keep an eye on the sky. Compare what the weatherman has to say and what the signs tell you.
