Always makes me think of one of my favorite bits of cloud lore: "Mare's tails and mackeral scales make lofty ships to carry low sails.”

We say, ‘mackerel sky, mackerel sky, not long wet, not long dry’ … not sure if that’s an English saying or what!

@jillianvogel
That is absolute poetry so it must be an English thing!

My nan used to say it, along with ‘cast ne’er a clout ‘til May be out’… good old fashioned lore. :)
