Where, when and how did the custom of clothing cement yard geese start?
I am fascinated by this custom although I have never seen one where I live (west coast).
Began in Maine during the fall season in the early 50′s as form of ground level weather vane – looking at the wind effect on the clothing gave an idea wind speed and thus chill factor.
