Persimmon Seed Forecast

According to folklore you can predict the winter weather by cutting open persimmon seeds and see what kind of "eating utensil" is depicted inside.

Meaning of the “Eating Utensils”
* Knife – Signifies icy cold winter weather coming with wind that will cut through like a knife.
* Fork – Signifies a mild winter with light feathery snow in the outlook.
* Spoon – Signifies a lot of wet heavy snow to be shoveled.

My seeds mostly had spoons (last 2 rows), but the top row were rather flat spoons and could be described as fat knives. I only had one fork which is in the second row. The seeds seem consistent with AccuWeather's winter predictions (see below). I guess we will take what comes and see how accurate we were in the spring.
