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.”

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.
