   • 1903, Edgar MacCulloch, “Proverbs, Weather Sayings, etc.”, in Guernsey Folk Lore‎^[1], page 535:

     Quànd i' plleut ôve vent d'aval, / Nourrit l'houme et sen cheval; / Quànd i' plleut ôve vent d'amont, / Ch'est merveille si tout ne fond.

     When it rains with a westerly wind it feed man and beast; but when it rains with an east wind it is a marvel if everything does not melt.
