Snakes.
Hanging a dead snake on a tree will bring rain in a few hours. (Negro.)
Note.—Snakes are out before rain, and are, therefore, more easily killed.
In Oregon the approach of snakes indicates that a spell of fine weather will follow.
When snakes are hunting food rain may be expected; after a rain they cannot be found.
Hang up a snake skin and it will bring rain.
Snakes and snake-trails may be seen near houses, roads, &c., before rain.
Snakes expose themselves on the approach of rain.
