A point to ponder. Lassen Advocate, Susancville, California 22 October 1909: “The weather prophets say if this coating snow on the summit of Diamond Mountain lasts any considerable time without melting, we may expect a light snowfall this winter. Some of those weather prophets have been watching this indicator for thirty years or more, and ought to know.”

One thought on “The Weather Prophets, 1909”

  1. My father, Wm. D. McIntosh (Bill), kept a daily log off the weather in Susanville for years starting in the 40’s out 50’s. Upon his retirement s as Director of Public Works, he gave out to the Historical Society. I don’t know what happened to it beyond that, but in reading about the Weather a prophets, I thought of being out to your attention. FYI, he also developed the County Route Marker System, which is used across the country, hence Lassen County being designated Lassen A1 County.
