Idaho is a diverse, unique state with many different weather patterns, landscapes, and opinions. That being said, that doesn’t mean that Idahoans don’t have some things in common. And even if you move away, you’ll still carry some habits from your homeland with you. If most of these things apply to you, there’s a good chance you grew up in the Gem State (or you’re an Idahoan at heart).
