If there are a lot of stars around midnight, it's going to be a good cloudberry year and it will also bring a good year of growth. But if it's cloudy, it will bring a summer of poor growth and cold weather. Another weather sign to look out for is that if it snows on New Year's Day, it will be a good fishing year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eira Murud, Marit Mikkelsdatter.&nbsp;<em>The year in S\u00e1pmi.&nbsp;<\/em>Karasjok: \u010c\u00e1lliidL\u00e1g\u00e1dus - ForfatternesForlag, 2015.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January slowly brings light back into the world, but it can also be sharp and cold.
