The First Snowfall

I believe in the old folklore that the date of the first measurable snowfall correlates with the number of times it will snow this winter.

November 30th was the first snowfall which means we'll have 29 more days of measurable snow. Why couldn't the snow gods have waited one more day which would have been the 1st of December leaving only 1 more day of snow.

This was 2 hours after the snow started to fall. The total wasn't much and the next day all the snow was melted. Typical Missouri weather. Snow and temperatures in the 20's one day and sunny skies and temperatures in the 50's the next. Why do I even live in this state? Oh yeah, my family is here!
