I learnt this rhyme as:

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning.

Jackie, if KY is landlocked, why would the sailor's version be common there? Lack of shepherds perhaps?

From WW's site: Generally speaking, seven out of ten red sunsets usually indicate good weather in northern climates.

Is the situation different in the southern hemisphere? Does weather move from W to E in the northern hemisphere but differently in the southern hemisphere?
