“When clouds are on the hills,
They’ll come down by the mills.”
Another rhyme states:—
“When the mist comes from the hill,
Then good weather it doth spill.
When the mist comes from the sea,
Then good weather it will be.”
In Worcestershire there is a saying:—
“When Bredon Hill puts on his hat,
Ye men of the vale, beware of that.”
Says a Yorkshire rhyme:—
“When Oliver’s Mount puts on his hat,
Scarbro’ town must pay for that.”
In the same broad shire is a similar couplet:—
“When Ingleboro’ wears a hat,
Ribblesdale’ll hear o’ that.”
