Big Snow Cometh
Thus sayeth the old timers around here. I understand it is based on the signs they read in the persimmon seeds, and the Old Farmer's Almanac.
Here is the first news story I have seen in their favor.
Boise gets earliest snow on record http://www.idahostatesman.com/102/story/530075.html

Thank you God for moving me to Texas. lol
Last year in Boise it was INSANE. It snows in the valley, but it rarely sticks. And when it does stick, it's usually gone by noon. If it sticks longer...it only sticks on the grass.
Except for last year. We had 8 inches twice in the same week. Holy snowballs man. It was a nightmare driving. Since no one's used to it..the roads were horrible for WEEKS. And that's not all the snow there was. There were a few more days around that time period with 5+ inches...in a day.
Oh and this is *very* early for snow. lol It's usually still 80s during the day.

I have a relative that got transfered to Boise. We went to visit one Thanksgiving. I did NOT like it...seemed dreary. No offense to anyone from there just my take on it.
Stephan, we have had to closest air mass that i can EVER remember in October. I knew when this thing moved it East it would be much worse for all of you. It's been down right COLD.
BUT it's back to mid 80s - 90 for the next several days ( back to normal)

Compared to California, I suppose it would seem dreary.  Compared to where I'd grown up it was wonderful! Thanksgiving is kind of a grey time of year.
