This is so cool!
Sent me on a deep dive into the history of snow in the region.
Seems like it is rare, but not impossible. The kind of weather the elders would be able to contextualize.
Fascinating!
Now I'm curious about older references. Is there a subdiscipline within history that is concerned with the weather?

Climate history is a thing, though I don't know that it's its own subdiscipline. But there's a lot of work written on things like the Little Ice Age or the Medieval Warm Period, history of tornado sightings, etc.
