All I've seen are spoons too.

My grandma cut open a couple and it looked like one was a fork and the other was a knife.

Is it just me, or is anyone else asking themselves W.T.H. they are talking about?

Is it just me, or is anyone else asking themselves W.T.H. they are talking about? Are you kidding?? I thought everyone knew how to predict winter weather via persimmon seeds! What do the shapes mean?
Knife: If the shape inside the seed is that of a knife, it is believed to mean the winter will be cutting cold. As my grandma would say, "So cold the wind feels like it's cutting right through you, like a knife."
Spoon: When the shape inside the seed looks like a spoon, it is said to mean it will be a heavy winter. The spoon represents lots of shoveling.
Fork: The appearance of a fork shape within the seed is believed to mean that winter will be easy with only a light dusting of snow.I'll see if I can split a few tomorrow.

Around my parts, we look at the bands on wooly bear caterpillars. Any pattern means that we will get a crapload of snow. Thank you Lake Erie.

I saw a few black wooly worms this weekend. Sounds like things will be pretty rough this winter.

Is it just me, or is anyone else asking themselves W.T.H. they are talking about? Ditto! And I thought GoosePondMonster was just trying to be funny. Thanks for clarifying this Troy! I've never heard of this before
