Re: Spring?
It's colder in the Chicago area. The night temperatures have been below freezing every day for the last week. I have the water to the outdoor faucet turned on and every day I have to wait for the water in the garden hose to thaw before I can use it. Also, there is about 1" of snow on the grass but on sidewalks, the snow is melted.
The latest heavy snow that I can remember was on April 5, 1982, about 9". I was driving home, when suddenly snow flakes the size of corn flakes started coming down. Traffic immediately came to a near standstill and it took me about 1.5 hours to drive 7 miles, which was normally a 20 minute trip. The snow melted in 2 days.
