Ditch Snow.
When now in the ditch the snow doth lie,
’Tis waiting for more by and by.
Dry or Wet Snow.
If the snow that falls during the winter is dry and is blown about by the wind, a dry summer will follow; very damp snow indicates rain in the spring. (Apache Indians.)
First Snow.
There will be as many snow storms during the season as there are days remaining in the month after the time of the first snow.
When the first snow remains on the ground some time, in places not exposed to the sun, expect a hard winter.
The number of days the last snow remains on the ground indicates the number of snow storms which will occur during the following winter.
