Persimmons

Call it superstition if you want, but legend says that if you'd really like to know how bad a winter is going to be in Missouri, you need to look at the inside of a persimmon.

If you want to know what the weather is going to do to Missouri this winter, you need to check your fruit based on long-standing folklore. If a certain fruit is correct, Missouri is in for a very snowy winter ahead. Dang fruit.
