What's latest/ earliest snowfall ever where you from?

What is the latest and earliest snowfall you've ever gotten where you live?

I know that all of your answers would be different depending on where you live. I know that the further south you go, the higher in the sky the sun gets, and the higher in the sky it gets the closer you get to summer. The sun getting higher than a certain degree in the sky makes it impossible for it to get cold enough to snow. I know that Canada has seen snow in June, where in Texas it wouldn't be possible for it to get cold enough to snow after around February.

Where I am in Kansas city, the earliest I ever remember seeing snow was around the second week in October 1992 when we saw a few snowflakes fall. There was also a light dusting this past October 2018, but only in the north parts of the city. South Kansas city where I live didn't get anything. And, the latest that I remember ever gotten anything was a light dusting on May 3, 2013, and that was an all-time record, very rare.

What is the very latest/ earliest where you all live?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Idk it’s to bipolar and unpredictable to really say and idk whats the absolute earliest or latest but I always feel like its October or November when I start to see it to maybe mid April or so. It was in the highish 30’s for a while but then snowed today. It’s definitely not done Ik it’s got a few more surprise falls.

      You must be somewhere further north than Kansas city if it snowed today (it was 60 here) and if you're saying that it doesn't end until about mid April. What city you in?

          Oh, New England has even snowier winters than the Midwest, New England and Buffalo, NY I heard.

            Yeah Vermont is the #1 state for highest snowfall and my states #2. A good amount has melted tho and that’s cool. I actually just looked up the coldest state and Maine is apparently the coldest state in Spring. No wonder. At this point I’ll just be happy for sweatshirt weather.

    We had our first snow of the year here on November 15th. I don't remember when the last one was, but I do miss winter.

      Yes, me too. Winter is finished here in Kansas city too. We're going to get our first 70s next week, and there's nothing in the short or long term forecast where it'll get anywhere close to the low 30s or lower. We'll get a snowfall in the second half of March about once every 4 or 5 years (one sometime in the first half of April about once every 10 years, and like I said up top, the dusting we got May 3 was the very latest ever and it was incredibly rare). Sometime in the first half of March is normally when we get our last snow. We got our last one this year on March 3 (about 4 inches). Every day now is being in the 50s and 60s. We usually get our first 80s in April, sometimes in March.

        I want to say that we got our last snow here in Dover around late February, or early March.

          Is Dover south of Kansas city? You don't have to tell me that though since that doesn't sound like a more major city, that's cool. Some people find being asked where they're from too personal if they're from a smaller town, which I understand. There's a difference between telling someone they're from Chicago and some smaller town.

            Dover is the capital of Delaware. Delaware is near Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. To be completely honest I grew up in Houston, Texas, and I've never given Dover, Delaware a second thought until I had to move here.

              Oh, my Dad lives in Houston. Actually I think I remember telling you this before, Rose, and you saying you've been to Houston. It's cool though, you didn't know since I'm using Anonymous Post user name here.

    Earliest Oct or Nov, latest say Feb. One year we even had on big snow in April. But since then we've been a in snow drought. About 3 year 0% Snow that's 3 Christmases without the white fluffy stuff it sucks.

    Late September in Bulgaria back in 2006. A rarity in my country, normally we see snow in late November and early December, seeing snow in September was weird XD

    It didn't snow in my town, but I do remember watching the news, where they said it snowed across a quarter of the country...

    BTW: This is also a country with 42C summer temperatures...

    I live in Australia and we once had snow on xmas day and the day after, which was weird considering that's summer here.

    We also had a light fall of snow recently in a bushfire area.

      Christmas in the summertime, that would take some getting used to. People here have equated Christmas with snow and winter so long that it's hard to imagine anything different. And that's not just comparing America to Australia, it's also comparing the temperate seasonal parts of America (Kansas city being one) to warm parts like Florida which have warm weather and palm trees at Christmas (sometimes it gets cooler in the wintertime in Florida, but never cold enough to snow)

        We're used to it, but it does always seem silly to have snowy decorations and xmas carols when it's usually really hot.
