I’d just like to add that those were the biggest damn snowflakes I’ve seen in my life. It looked like white potato chips were falling from the sky. _Mmmm…meteorological potato chips…_ ---

Saskatchewan is warming up! I even celebrate the rain, though with all the melting going on its going to be wet for a while. ---

It looks like we got it the other side of the mountains, too. I was lucky. I woke up to just a bit of ice on my car, but when I got to work, I noticed some coworkers had a good half inch or so of snow on their cars, and that was what was left after they drove in! I could have sworn the calendar said it was April. 😕 CJ ---

BAH! Back in 1990 parts of the Jersey Shore got 10" of snow on or about April 10th. And Philly got 3-5". But, cripes, when driving to work today, the rain was really really loud, then visibility got a lot worse and the rain was really really quiet…because it was friggin snow! A virtual white out! I live in Gloucester County NJ and commute to the Philly Airport Area. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Is it sticking, **WS**? At least the ground is too warm for it to be sticking here. More than just sticking, less than _piling up_. I’d say we’ve got a couple inches in the ground at this point. Color me annoyed. ---

So am I the only one tracking the snow in my minds interactive tri-state area map? It is now sunny in Middlesex county. ---

It was sunny an hour ago. Now we’ve got horizontal snow. ---

Sun is also back in Morris. I haven’t been informed of a snow cessation in Bergen yet, though. 🙂 ---

At 12:51, it’s blowin’ flurries and 35° in the lower Hudson Valley. 3 days ago it was 60something° and sunny. Either this is a sign of the endtimes or April has once again arrived in the Northeast. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > So when are we gonna see you at a Philly Doper Dinner? When it snows in April! I do need to keep up on such things. I thought maybe I waited so long as to not be part of the SDMB Philly clique (click?). I will make an effort! ---

You’ll be astonished at what a lame clique we are. Easy to break into – the only question is, do you want to? 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-freaking-snowing/351412.md?page=1)
