Weather signs for December 14
The north wind on Naumov's day foretells severe frosts.
Frosts should also be expected if the sky is strewn with stars on the night of Naum the Literate.
In addition, clouds floating against the wind are harbingers of a cold snap.
Twinkling stars on the night of Naum mean that there will be a blizzard.
If it rains or snows on this day, such weather will last for three more days.
If crows caw loudly, a snowstorm is expected.
If dogs bark dully, there will be snowfall.
