Okay...

Does your region where you live MUST have an April Blizzard no questions asked?

Yes, it snowed in Indianapolis last night. It was only visible on the grass--it melted on the roads.

There wasn't much, and it's unusually cold for late April.

Hearing heavy snow expected in No. Cal in the next couple days. We need it for snow pack and water in CA.

We here in Michigan got about an inch of snow yesterday but it is melting fast. Farmers used to call it "poor man's fertilizer" and plow the snow under into the fields. Snow contains Nitrogen which is beneficial for crops.

The last April blizzard that I recall was way back in 1974. It started out as a thunderstorm and turned ugly! But a couple inches of snow here in April is not uncommon.

In 1982, a blizzard in April forced the cancellation of opening day at Yankee Stadium.

Somebody get a news clip of Bill Mazer's WNEW report from Yankee Stadium on YouTube!

Oh, there was also 2018:

It wasn't a blizzard but a number of years ago in April we had a massive ice storm.

We've gotten snow in April a few times but it's pretty unusual, I can't remember ever having a blizzard in April.
