This day marks the day of remembrance of the holy prophet Nahum.
In Rus', the saint was revered as the patron of science and intelligence, and therefore the day was called Gramotnik.
Many signs on this day were associated with the wind, as well as the behavior of the clouds, by which they judged the upcoming weather.

Weather signs
On December 14, we watched the clouds. If they were floating against the wind, it would soon get colder, but spring would come early and be warm.
The approaching snowfall was indicated by the muffled barking of dogs.
A strong wind warned of approaching frosts, and bright stars in the sky warned of an imminent blizzard.
