JACKSON, GA — General Beauregard Lee makes his annual prediction from Dauset Trails in Jackson, Georgia on if we will have an early spring or not.

Ike English, director at Dauset trails, says one day a year Lee gets lots of attention.

“He is in the spotlight for a brief moment on February 2. The rest of the year he is a man of leisure.”

He usually is lured out by one of his favorite treats.

“Part of what helps him come out of his house is the aroma of Waffle House hashbrowns. That is kind of a tradition.”

This will be his 44th year predicting the weather. If he sees his shadow, it’s said, that means six more weeks of winter are ahead. The opposite is true on an overcast day, as spring is considered to be just around the corner!
