Weather prophetess of Goffstown predicts snowstorms
Mrs. Lois Harrington, famed as the town’s “wise woman,” forecasts weather using family lore and numerical hints from the moon and calendar. Her father J. C. McIntire, once the “wise man” of Dunbarton, passed on the tradition. She cites past预测s of 46 and 13 snowstorms and says this year will bring 28 or 29, with thresholds and signs from sunsets and winds. Neighbors and merchants debate the method, while Harrington notes historic Dunbarton’s lack of modern conveniences.
