Expand Except maybe the one February or March in 1997 when I flew into Chicago on a Sunday just prior to a blizzard and was "snow bound" until Tuesday. Kind of hard to do drive testing on cell phones when you are stuck in your hotel room and the landlines are down which overloaded the cell traffic.

Outside of system shows that hook out of The Panhandle... We just don't get "big snows"... Over a foot a pop The thing that makes it seem so bad IMO, makes snow on "steroids" is: 1. Volume of people, population density. 2. Geography, too damn level, flat. Edited April 11, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois

Ice was still on L.Superior in June. Hunks of ice were still falling off the sea caves @ the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin... In JULY! 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Where is Spring? Runs between William St. and Cherry St., a few streets west of Jefferson Ave. I think I've watched Airplane, Airplane II, and Police Squad too many times...

Expand Did it really snow in June of 1976? You weren't on Mt. Hood or Mt. Washington were you? Really, in BFLo? Without some major volcanic eruption, even that's crazy for Western New York!

Washington were you? Really, in BFLo? Without some major volcanic eruption, even that's crazy for Western New York! Expand I am being serious. Rochester - I was just out of high school and working at some department store JB Hunter part time in the Garden Center. There was a "sugar coating" of snow one day. Also about 20 years later there was a summer where the temp seemed to never get over 75 and it was always cloudy. I remember it because the summer before I was working down in Australia so I felt I went almost 3 years w/o seeing a sunny 85 degree day.
row_33 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 a storm sending Toronto back to the Ice Age has been crowed by the media this week... ice isn't fun
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Sunny and 80 ... beautiful Friday the 13th
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Overcast and almost 70° here right now... Can be like this all year. What can go possibly wrong/right? 48° tomorrow, 41° Sunday, then 39° on Monday... Good, scare the boats away when I go back & fill in on Sunday... Stay nice when I am off of work... Stay messing on weekends, great during week! Shaping up to be a great year! But outta the woods in three days... 50s, 60s after that. That's perfect!
dhg Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Crazy. 40s here tomorrow but Bradford PA will be in 70s
Saxum Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 It went from Winter to Indian Spring to Winter to brief Spring to 90 degree day today.
