Adeline KnappOld saws and their real meaningWeather SayingsWhen chairs squeak, it's about rain they speak.Wooden chairs will absorb moisture from the air when humidity rises. This causes them to squeak."When clouds appear like rocks and towers, the earth will be washed by frequent showers."When there are large tower-like clouds (cumulonimbus clouds), very big storms will occur.This happens because cumulonimbus clouds are made of water droplets at lower elevations and ice crystalsat higher elevations. When the ice crystals or water droplets detach from the clouds and start to fall, theymelt and turn into heavy rain."When the wind is out of the east,'Tis neither good for man nor beast."
