Last Snow of the Year Thread

Remember the first snow of the year thread from December? Well, when have people had their last snowstorm?

I'm sitting home today enjoying my third snow day this school year because we got close to 10" from yesterday and overnight. It's very pretty out. And yes, Spring starts in 4 days... even in Ithaca.

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

Odd... it hasn't snowed here in Montreal for a while. I think we've already had our last snow. There's still a lot of it melting outside, though.

The schools in here wouldn't even think about having a snow day unless we had 3' or so of snow, so we haven't even had one this year.

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

I remember when we had a snowstorm in Rochester in early May! Nine inches! We were not amused.

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

Just be lucky that the pits at UTC this year are all INSIDE!!!

(I Hope...)

Anyone remember the Arctic Pits in 2001 at The UTC Regional at The Meadows.. Yeah, that was interesting.

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

It snowed today. It will probably snow tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after. And the day after ...

Hopefully that will be the end of it. But you know what they say about Wisconsin -- "summer is defined as three months of bad snowmobiling"

We also got our 'last snowfall of the year' here in Michigan, BUT it is Michigan, and I don't know about you, but the weather can go from short sleeves and shorts sort of weather on one day to the heavy winter coat weather on the next. We only got about 2", so I had to wake to go to school. =-(

We got about another 1.5" in Torrington today. It was blowing around at times so it was hard to tell how much was really coming down. We got snow at the end of April a few years ago so I'll be safe and say we won't be in the clear for at least a month. So much for the buds that were coming out last week.

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

Uggh we received a nice seven inches or so here just outside the Poconos yesterday and last night. Today it just has been annoying and will not come to an end; just a never ending drizzling snow all day.

Oh well, it's Pennsylvania for you..... lets just hope that it will clear up by PARC!

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

Actually, just looking out the window right now, the way the snow is just gently coming down and blowing around reminds me of those things you shake up and watch. I think they refer to them as snow globes and it feels like I'm inside of one right now.

Anywho, it came down hard yesterday, and it's been snowing today. UTC should be interesting, to say the least.

On a side note, any New Englanders remember the April Fool's blizzard a few years ago?

I was in Florida about a mounth ago and I thought it was funny as all get out because it was low to mid 50s and every one was complaning. I was like SCORE shorts and t-shirt weather.

Re: Last Snow of the Year Thread

Haha. It was 70 here in Michigan, and then two weeks later, BAM! Snow.

Grrr. I guess the unpredictability of the weather is the only thing in Michigan that is remotely exciting.
