~    The Moon &  Weather  ~

~Pale Moon doth rain, red Moon doth blow, white Moon doth neither rain nor snow.

~Clear Moon, frost soon.

~a dark mist over the Moon is a promise of rain.

~the Full Moon eats the clouds away

~a New Moon and a windy night sweep the cobwebs out of sight

~a red Moon is a sure sign of high winds

~blunt horns on a crescent Moon presage a long spell of fair weather

~a single ring around the Moon that quickly vanishes, heralds fine weather

~when the New Moon holds the old Moon in its arms (ring around the New Moon) disasters at sea will occur

~sharp horns on the sickle Moon indicate strong winds

~and should the Moon wear a halo of red, a tempest is nigh.
