Discuss.

1. Just trudged in from Westchester county

A couple of inches up there already - 4-6 expected, streets and sidewalks in midtown Manhattan all slushy. Saw that forecast for Saturday, perhaps another storm. But 60 degrees on Wednesday. Just sitting here and shaking my head.

[samnsara]

2. snow in the PNW as well. the passes were closed due to spinouts...

...because snow tires were due to be taken off march 30. So all the college kid/families heading from eastern to western wash during Easter weekend... were stranded!

[spinbaby]

3. Its messing with my gardening

And it’s been too wet to even walk on the lawn without sinking in.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Frost On My Car This Morning

My winter car, which i don't park in the garage (convertible sitting in there with top down, sigh) had frost all over the metal surfaces and some on the windshield.

On April 2nd!

I know it's happened before, but we also rarely had 50 degree days in January and frost on the car in April.

But, there's no climate change.

[SallyHemmings]

5. Over it in the Philly Suburbs

[Ohiogal]

6. Here in NE Ohio

I just woke up to a completely white yard.

[Demsrule86]

15. I am in Cortland Ohio (about to move to Cleveland) we have snow too.

[Alliepoo]

I’m in the Columbus area and we have about an inch of snow here. Yuck. I’m ready for nice warm weather and sunshine!

I was driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with my best friend, and we had to switch drivers before getting to the I-15, as the Cajon Pass was snowed over, and my friend had never driven in snow before.

As we approached the Cajon Pass, I wanted to stop and take a picture of the road sign that said "Avoid Overheating: Turn off Air Conditioning next 11 miles"; it was covered in snow.

55. Fantastic under-rated Prince song from "Under the Cherry Moon" soundtrack...

8. Not In Florida!

😎🏖🏌️‍♂️🏊🏻‍♂️🌝

[Alliepoo]

20. Lucky!

We were in New Smyrna Beach about a month ago. It was lovely and warm. I got to wear my capris and flip flops- got into “summer mode” in a hurry! Then we came home. Sigh. Cold, dreary, cloudy, rainy, snowy... If it wasn’t for leaving my darling grands, I’d move down there in a heartbeat- for the weather, the ocean and the palm trees!

[mcar]

35. New Smyrna is one of my favorite FL places

We'll be there at the end of the month for a family reunion.

[Ohiogal]

41. I agree

We've gone to New Smyrna about 5 times. Love to eat at Norwood's.

[malaise]

37. Not in Kingston

Jamaica. Just returned from a glorious morning walk and exercise

[Vinca]

10. Saturday I puttered around in my garden in southern NH. Today it's snowing.

I'M SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hatrack]

11. Well, we had snow on May 2nd back in 2013 (KC) . . .

Snow in April is unusual, not unheard of.

[cbdo2007]

12. Yep it snows in April sometimes. In some places it snows all year.

[Demsrule86]

13. Snowing in Ohio too.

[Guilded Lilly]

14. Yeah. Its Ohio. Not a surprise. It wont last but it always annoys. n/t

[Demsrule86]

18. That is so so true.

All white in Cortland.

[Ohiogal]

42. Tomorrow is supposed to be near 70!

[Demsrule86]

57. Really! wow yet snow predicted for the weekend...crazy.

[PJMcK]

16. 5 to 8 inches in Lower Catskills (n/t)

[Jrsygrl96]

17. Not unheard of.

We had a huge snowstorm on Easter Sunday in the northeast in 1968. What is crazy is 4 noreasters in March, 2018. That's the problem. Our town had 1 major flood from 1959-1984. We have had at least 4 since then- 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011-with Tropical Storm Irene destroying half of it! Hurricane Sandy is the famous storm, but Irene did tons of damage in Northern NJ. The storms are getting much more frequent and worse as time goes by.

22. We had a major blizzard

in Chicago March 31, 1974. It took me six hours to get home from work. Still I never get used to seeing snow at this time of the year.

[PatSeg]

21. I'm in New Hampshire

and it is snowing here too. This is getting really old.

[TEB]

23. Gettysburg area

Calling one to three supposed to be out of here around noon.

[MissB]

24. Our weather is typical here.

It’s slowly warming up- hitting 60s now and then and no longer likely to freeze.

I planted carrots, beets and radishes yesterday. My leek, chard and kale seedlings are hardening off on my porch. I spread a cubic yard of mulch Saturday and weeded a bit yesterday.

It’s raining this week but heck it’s the PNW. I think it’s snowing at >1000’ but that isn’t unseasonal.

We’ve seen a trend towards warmer and drier.

[kentuck]

25. High forecast for today is 69 in Colorado.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. To the best of my memory, the latest snowfall in the recent past

was April 10 four years ago. (NJ/NY area)

[samplegirl]

27. So tired of

This weather seems to make the summer so very short!

[democratisphere]

28. Snow in the Catskills. I have had it with this.

[In_The_Wind]

29. Our new lawnmower arrived Saturday. We are ready for Spring ...

Maybe it'll hang around for a week before Summer heat cooks all my Spring blooms.

[lapucelle]

30. Shades of 1996 for the Yankee home opener today.

[raging moderate]

31. I remember April snowfalls in Chicago, 1950-1968.

It was only somewhat unusual.

[Greybnk48]

32. N.E. Wisconsin. 8-12" of snow tonight and through Tuesday

evening. My Daffies are up by about 2"! But they don't mind the snow!

[TheBlackAdder]

33. Dang! I was doing weekend yard cleanup and was going to apply an anti-algae agent to my shingles.

I saw it was going to snow last night and today, so I couldn't apply the agent (living in a wooded development).

This weekend was going to be my next chance to to it. Soon, it will jump straight to 90 degree weather.

I still have lawn prep to do before it gets too hot.

[MineralMan]

34. Yuck. That's my contribution.

Here in the Twin Cities, we're expecting 4-8" by Wednesday morning. I guess I put the snowblower in its storage spot too early. Damn!

[Ohiogal]

54. Gosh, in the Twin Cities

I'd think you wouldn't put that thing away until Memorial Day!

[Tracer]

36. Snow in April? How about May.

In early May, 1978 we had a pretty big snowstorm. And since the trees had leaves, the weight of the snow brought down branches and wires and knocked out power.

I distinctly remember being out of power for a week. At least, it wasn't too cold.

[MontanaMama]

38. Woke up to snow

this morning. I’m kind of grumpy about it. I know I know...it’s Montana. 😡

[sarisataka]

39. Sounds like April

I remember getting about 5 inches on Memorial Day

[LeftInTX]

47. Yikes!! The lastest I saw snow in Wisconsin was early May

It was mostly a dusting or stuff that melted etc.

[smirkymonkey]

40. I'm so over it.

Snowing here in Boston today. We're only supposed to get around 2 -3 inches, but still! Enough!

[Brother Buzz]

43. I would like to see a baseball game played in the snow

[titaniumsalute]

44. When the air is below 32 degrees F and very moist

It snows.

[LeftInTX]

46. April 1973: We tried to go to Florida and got stuck in this blizzard instead!

Wisconsin April 8, 1973. Our family had planned a Spring Break vacation in Florida, to get away from the cold. Instead it got delayed due to a blizzard. I was sooooooo mad.

[LeftInTX]

48. Would you prefer to live in Texas?

Families have been swimming at the local pool for several weeks.

You can have our politics and summers

[phylny]

49. For all the "not here" responses,

I wonder if we should return the favor during hurricane season?

No snow here in my part of Virginia - 60 with a little rain this morning but sunny now.

[demigoddess]

50. about 1959, living in Kansas, the snow was still on the ground until June.

[snowybirdie]

51. It's April

and 86 here in SW Florida

[elleng]

52. Yankees Home Opener Postponed by Snow!!!

[jodymarie aimee]

53. we are getting 12 inches tonite and Tues

in Central WI....voting day, yet..

[LanternWaste]

56. Does this mean you do not accept the theory of gravity

Does this mean you do not accept the theory of gravity (Obama does...)?




I finally get it! The reductio ad absurdum question, though always meaningless and irrelevant, is great fun (never mind its petulance)! And it throws shade as well. Two birds and all.

[arthritisR_US]

58. Here in Calgary we have the same. Snowed

all weekend, stopped for today but the forecast is for snow the rest of the week. It’s crazy 😝

60. LOL the snow melts as soon as it hits the ground

So this doesn't really count as "snow."

[Kirk Lover]

61. It was really coming down there for a few hours...gave me an excuse to be nice and late to work.

However, I see nothing about another storm for the weekend here in the NY area....bite your tongue!!!
