Why we’re asking

Seventy-one per cent said obviously. Nobody has proposed a mechanism.

The legend holds that a mountain man born in a bear den fires his musket at the clouds and brings the winter. The town named a festival after him. Every spring somebody does the arithmetic on the season just gone and files a complaint.

No facts are asserted here and none are available.
