Friend of Phil?

Unlike Puxsutawney Phil (the groundhog weather guru) or other weather predictors for that matter,Lulu,the snow predicting goat,was not only accurate but her signals were easily read and understood. Lulu was often consulted by the school superintendent (in North Carolina) when it was unclear when a storm was due and the decision to have classes or not could be a critical call. Lulu had a sleeping area on the porch,when snow was on the way she would leave this area around four hours before the snow arrived and go make a warm bed in the barn. As is often the case with heart warming animal stories,Lulu was attacked and killed by a pack of wild dogs just after being invited to appear on the television show "That's Incredible".
