Mix of rain and snow expected for this Saturday, April 10. Getting in to the exceptional and bizarre weather territory. Fort Wayne which is a good 250 miles away mostly North has an average last snow date of April 3. I recall even the fierce winter of 1977 (blizzard) had the last snow melted by about April 10.

This is turning out to be a miserable Spring here, for example chilly and raining now.

This just weather. If it were going to be warm, that would be proof of global warming.

The worst snow storms of the year can come in the month of April. Plenty of moisture in the air, and a good solid Yukon Clipper blast comes out of Canada, and FOOP, down it comes with wind behind, leaving snowdrifts that are impassible.

Old-timers in my area don’t put out their garden until Memorial Day.

Dang that’s late. You must have some elevation?

Our rule of thumb is not much before Ky Derby Day. I will never put out corn seeds again before May 1. The last 2 times I did in late March the seed rotted and I had to replant.

The high here in Atlanta for Saturday is forecast at 47 degrees. I guess we’ll burn up the rest of the wood on the front porch.

As a child (4-6) I lived in Chiloquin for a few years. All I can mostly remember is the wild Indian kids hitting me and beating the snot out of each other.

“Possible measurable snow forecast for Saturday in Ky/S Ind”

Maybe I missed something. Where does it say this in the forecast?

Here is the high low forecast for my town. Whenever you have a temp of 30 and a snow rain mix it’s possible.

44°30°

I think Louisville had 1 measurable snow in May (1898). Yes I’ve always been fascinated how areas so deep in Texas can have such powerful winter storms.

I flew into Boston on a business trip on March 31, 1997, right into one of the biggest blizzards to ever hit there.

“The snow came in like a wall during the evening of March 31. Three inches per hour snowfall rates were common throughout the night. Boston received a foot of snow in four hours, between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. By dawn on April Fools morning, 2-to-3 feet of snow blanketed the region.”

It was the #4 all-time blizzard in Boston, dumping 25.4 inches. We were the last plane into Logan; other pilots were sensible and diverted or returned. It took over two hours for the shuttle to get to Braintree and many times I thought we were going to get stuck and spend the night in that cold van.

I couldn’t have picked a better week for that trip!

Well, they’ve got some incorrect records. I have FB memories from a 12” snow in March just a couple of years ago.... hmmn.. Well, I guess it was more like 5 years ago. But, it was DEFINITELY in March and it was WAY MORE than 4”.

I live in central Indiana west of Indianapolis, and last May (right around Mother’s Day) we had several inches of heavy wet snow. It was so much that it took out a mulberry tree branch that was between 12” and 15” in diameter. Luckily in landed in our yard, instead of our house.

Morning weatherman out of Lafayette, IN, teased us with ‘chance of snow/sleet/freezing rain’ over night for one or two of the next 2-3 nights. But little accumulation due to daytime rain.
