JIM: Weather ruminations and the Goosebone Weather Prophesy


'For those who are not up-to-date on such things, prophesying winter weather from the breastbone of a goose is a tried-and-true method used for many a decade by the Pennsylvania Germans, always with perfect satisfaction and without the bother of annoying commercials sandwiched between the introductory blather and the closing bombast of television prognosticators.' -JIM, His own "Auditorium," as some were wont to call the legendary TImes-Journal Editor Andrew Norfleet's opinion pieces.


By "Jim"

Up here north of the Green River, the ground is an unsullied white this fine December morning, and although a bit on the cool side - it certainly wouldn't take a fellow long to get aired out, were he foolish enough to wander away from the comforts of hearth and home and coffeepot - it's nowhere nearly as cold as that frigid day in Columbia nigh onto four-score and thirteen years ago when Mr. E.L. Feese, an employee of the News, reported that "a blue streak of wind passed into his room through a key hole of his door, and when it reached four feet in his apartment, it froze, and could have been used for a walking cane."
