About First Snow
Jimmy (Guy Pearce), a fast-talking salesman, has big ambitions. While selling flooring, he has an idea that will make him a rich man. His dreams come to a grinding halt when his car breaks down in a small desert town. To pass the time he seeks the advice of a roadside fortuneteller. Though at first the soothsayer's predictions are good, the session ends abruptly when the man pulls away in terror, for Jimmy is fated to die when the season's first snowflakes fall.

Los Angeles blizzard warning is first since 1989
By Max MatzaBBC News, Seattle
Parts of usually balmy Southern California are under their first blizzard warning since 1989.
Forecasters are predicting record snowfall of up to 8ft (2. 4m) in mountains to The East of Los Angeles by Saturday.
A massive storm has already brought major blizzards and temperatures below freezing to much of the northern US.
The Cold Snap comes as parts of the US southeast basked in a record-breaking Heat Wave .
The icy weather front stretches along the entire US West Coast , as well as The Canadian province of British Columbia .
The Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the coastal Ventura County mountains and Los Angeles County mountains from early Friday until Saturday, The National Weather Service (NWS) said.
Snowfall of up to 5ft is also possible in The Mountains around The City of Santa Barbara .
The NWS said that The Heavy snow will be accompanied by high winds and " near zero visibility".
" I have to be totally honest With You guys, " one baffled California meteorologist told viewers This Week . " I've actually never seen a blizzard warning. "
" Multiple rounds" of snow are forecast to blanket the southern Sierra Nevada mountains in central and western parts of The State .
On Thursday, schools in The State 's far northwest closed due to the freak weather.
" This is the First Snow day we have had in the 31 years I have been with The District , " Jeff Napier, an official with the Del Norte County Schools District, told the Los Angeles Times.
Lower elevation parts of Southern California may also experience snow, in addition to rain, as The Storm moves south over the weekend, forecasters say.
The Snow elevation may drop as low as 1,500ft - About as high as the famed sign in the Hollywood Hills .
Elsewhere in the US the Cold Snap has forced schools, businesses and some state legislatures to close.
Portland, Oregon, had nearly 11in (28cm) of snowfall by overnight into Thursday morning, the NWS reported, its second snowiest day ever recorded.
The Storm led to the death in Michigan of a volunteer firefighter, who reportedly came into contact with a downed powerline.
Officials in Oregon are also investigating a suspected hypothermia death that they say may be related to The Storm .
High winds uprooted a massive redwood tree, which fell into a home in California's Bay Area, leaving a one-year-old child in Critical Condition in hospital.
Across five states, hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses - 750,000 in Michigan Alone - were without power on Thursday night.
More Than 8,000 US flights were cancelled or delayed on Thursday, according to FlightAware data.
Meanwhile, temperatures in Washington Dc hit 81F (27C) on Thursday, a February-high not seen since 1874.
