I guess this might be something more that we do more in the east coast because it doesn’t really snow here huh? So like whenever it is supposed to snow, like in the forecast it might snow, everyone just wears their pajamas inside out and flush ice cubes down the toilet and that is supposed to make it snow. I guess it’s just a superstition to feel like we have a say in controlling what we want.

Again there comes this idea of being able to control those things around us that are actually out of our reach, so we create these folklore stories that make us feel that by doing certain actions we can ensure that the whether or other uncontrollable factors are able to go in our favor.
