snow days in March or April are not worth having for the most part, even for school kids. It is no long a fun play time is instead it is depriving you of something fun to do while you either wait for it to melt or have to work moving it around for the parents.
This is very much a teachable moment, as in, “Don’t forget that a snow day now means a school day in spring.” It would be a laudable, though probably futile, effort to teach the virtues of long-term thinking. Of course, as we all know, long-term thinking is absolutely un-American.
In DC 1" is a calamity, out here in the flatlands its not even noticed. 6" and then you might have to shovel the gate to get into the grain bins. The electrical authority is putting in a new string of lines in the cold and through the snow
16? years ago Easter was late March. We were in church & watched it begin to snow. What? Snow like this in NW Tucson? We lived in the village of Catalina close to the Catalina Mountains. Our 1990 240 Volvo had a hard timeon dirt roads covered with 6" of wet snow. Snow covered Palo Verde yellow blossoms quite a sight.
Come around June 25, when you finally get out of school for the year, you’ll be having 2nd thots about how desirable those snow days were back in January.
razz16 hrs · Of course we’d get not one, but two consecutive snow days in the Frazz Factory region this week. Of course.If this cartooning thing doesn’t work out, it appears I’m qualified to work as a meteorologist any time before the 1980s.
Every snow day has to be made up with an extra school day at the end of the school year! Kids want a snow day, but when they have to attend classes extra days then they aren’t happy!

Don’t worry. We’re not through February yet. There’s one more day of hope left. (Leap! Leap!)

LOL! March and April is probably when much of the snow will come!

Obviously, Frazz isn’t in the southeastern part of the state… we had two snow days and more than an inch of snow.

Not where I live some of our largest snows have come in March. One of the biggest was the St. Patrick day storm in 93.

March/April have great instability for producing Snow Hail Ice Tornadoes.

I agree that March can be a bugger for heavy and unexpected snowfall. Hold on to your hats…or touques.

We are in a drought and hoping for another March miracle.

It’s actually snowing right now…light flurries expected to last only about an hour, so no accumulation, but it’s still snowing!
