Since ancient times, Russia has been monitoring the weather and the state of nature. It was these observations that became the basis of a large number of signs, on the basis of which our ancestors tried to create all the conditions for a good harvest. Often, it depended on whether spring would be early or vice versa, that is, on the correct choice of time for planting. The signs were carefully preserved, passed from father to son, and new observations appeared over time.

In 2nd grade, studying the world, schoolchildren learn a lot about such signs, use them to work on projects about the seasons.

What are the signs left to us as a legacy of distant ancestors?

In Russia, they tried to prepare in advance for a cold winter and, using the following signs, determine whether it would be severe.

In autumn, the leaves stay on the trees for a long time - by the harsh winter.

In the summer there was a large harvest of berries - by the frosty winter.

A lot of mountain ash was born - to be a fierce winter.

The snow fell until all the leaves on the trees fell off - for a harsh winter.

Schoolchildren are always interested in signs related to pets or the weather outside the window.

For example, many winter signs are associated with cats:

The cat gets up hind legs and scrapes the walls or the floor - to be a strong blizzard.

The cat lay down to warm herself on the stove, to be colder.

The cat lies on the floor - wait for warming. If the cat sleeps for a long time and calmly - also be warm.

The cat closes its muzzle with its paws - wait for a blizzard.

A harbinger of a blizzard was also considered a crow croaking in the morning on the top of a tree.

If jackdaws and crows are circling in the air, there will be a big snowfall.

Huge snowflakes are falling from the sky - to be thawed.

The crackling of trees in the forest portends a severe frost.

Firewood crackles strongly in the fire - to a great frost.

The smoke from the chimney goes vertically upwards - expect severe cold weather.

Hoarfrost covered the bushes and trees - the day will be sunny.

If thunder rumbles in winter, there will be strong winds and frosts, if lightning strikes, there will be a storm.

If there is heavy snowfall in the first days of winter, there will be heavy rains in the first days of summer.

If the first of February is a clear day, look forward to early spring.

Cold and snowy December is a harbinger of a rich harvest.

A cold winter without snow is the key to a dry and hot summer.

If a flock of crows sits on the upper branches of a tree - get ready for frost, if on the lower ones - for a strong wind.

If the daytime crackling frost has been replaced by evening warming, there will be a long cold.

If hares come close to residential buildings, there will be frost.

If the sparrows hide in brushwood, there will be frost or a blizzard.

A lot of snow in the fields - in the summer, wait for a good harvest, in other words: winter without snow - summer without bread.
