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'll try to find a persimmon tree today. I'm gonna check out a seed and see which piece of silverware it looks like.
