About Sam

Sand Mountain Sam is a legendary prognosticating opossum from Albertville, Alabama, who has been making predictions for over a decade. In 2020, the state game warden nearly cancelled the tradition (usually, having a possum as a pet is against the law), but in 2022 Sam returned, emerging from a whiskey barrel to predict an early spring.
