Twelve heavy snows will car
pet the French Bread valley
during tne coming winter and
there will he 28 flurries, declares
John Drake, Asheville's famous
weather prophet and one tiYne
wrestler of renow n.
Drake is the exponent of the
"ruling day" theory, says the
Times, and claims that for the
past 10 years he has been more
accurate than the almanac in
forcasting the weather in west
ern North Carolina.
The sage of Buncombe coun
ty resents the attitude some folks
m this state have taken about
his predictions for the past year.
Drake admits that he missed
three months slightly, but is of
the opinion that he should have
credit for the other nine.
It has been rumored around
by the intellectuals of the com
munity that Drake waits till the
winter is half over, and then
makes his predictions. This is
unfair, the sage-wrestler points
out, for the atmanacs commence
with the first oi the year in their
predictions. Besides, sa^s Drake,
the ruling days are the first 12
of the year and how may any
one prophesy on tins theory be
fore the days are at hand?
Among the incidents foretold
i by the local observer in past
years w ere the flood of 1916, the
frightful winter of 1917-18, the
} mild winter last year, and other
! peculiar weather conditions.
The first signs of snow were]
I observed October 28 iustpast.!
This means, says Drake, that
therewiiibe2S flurries during
the cold season, T ne first snow
to tad and lay on the ground
came November 12. Tins means
that there will be 12 heavy
snows during the coming winter
and early spHag.
it may be remembered that
Drake's forecast for this Novem
ber mas "unsettled/' He has
! been come out so far in that
I prediction. December of this
1 year win be changeable, with
I rain, snow and s'er t in ,quantit\,
'according tohis prophecy last
year. Already it has been noted
that me squirrels imve bushier
tails this year.
