Ye Olde Country Weather Lore

If a slug is crawling up your milk bottle in the morning, then it's raining, and if ants are crawling all over your orange juice bottle, then the weather is dry.

LOL! I'll have to write that down.

And if both are happening at the same time, it's been raining, it's going to rain but it's not raining right now?

When the duck's upon the wing,
That's a sign that now it's Spring.

When the duck lands on the lake,
That's a sign the weather will break.

When the duck sinks out of sight,
That's a sign his bum ain't watertight.

West Limerick folklore (Well it is among this 'folk'.)

That works just about as well as the weather forecast! Lucky you to have a milkman ... ours gave up over 10 years ago, sad day (he's now our postman).
