Is there going to be any snow or a snow storm? I would like to put my shovel and other stuff away out of my car.

hehe the best winter we probably had in a while for snow storms.
A winter this warm is really, really not a good thing.
I’m originally from the south. The ticks and insects are gonna be bad this summer. Didn’t get cold enough for long enough to kill them.
I believe I read somewhere that ticks are now a year round problem because of the temperatures.
i promise they are. i was pulling them off my dog in january. not ideal
They certainly are! The only time my dog wasn't infested with ticks this year was when it snowed this month
Can confirm. Found ticks on my dog almost every single time we went hiking this winter.
Yup found 5 ticks on my dog in mid February
Definitely gonna be bad, already found some on the doggo....Seresto works best
Def Seresto! Time to put down tick killer on the lawn that’s for sure.
It’s due to the volcano that erupted near Australia in 2021. Next year is expected to be about the same (but a little more snow is expected).
And then we’re supposed to be back to normal in 2024.
Edit: volcano was early 2022, thought it was end of 2021. Happened in Tonga, South Pacific.

Yeah if you own a snow plow business or something. Otherwise, it's great.
Yep, hopefully the summer won’t be too hot 🥵
Oh it will be. 😆
Nah this winter sucked. It was cold like normal, but without the snow there was no sledding or snowball fights or any of the actual fun that is supposed to come with winter. It was like a Florida winter. Just cold.
It was definitely not cold like normal
If it's 37 and rainy it's still cold and unpleasant. That's all I meant.
I'll take 37 over 97 any day
97 and rainy is amazing. The rain cools you down but it's not cold.
Wrong
Oh sorry, my bad. I had no idea I didn't enjoy a warm rainy day.
It’s the Florida in you
This winter was 3.7 and 5.1 degrees above normal at Bridgeport and Hartford respectively. In this part of the country where the weather and climate are about as stable as you can get, those kinds of departures from normal are pretty crazy for an entire season.
Of course, I didn't mean to imply that it was a normal winter or that the temperatures were completely normal. On days we normally would have gotten snow we got rain because it was like 37.
I was only meaning I would have preferred to get some snow days rather than just cold rainy days.
Don't forget the wind. So much wind.
I mean yeah but there was also no shoveling,slipperiness or power outages that come with the snow storms.
Yeah but food chains might change over the course of the next 10 years, and my crops might not grow, but by all means we get to be lazy and not shovel snow.
Who cares about your crops as long as I don’t have to shovel lol we can always import from Vietnam or phillepines 🤗

Haha? Loser
I am a loser for not wanting to shovel in a 20 degree weather at 05:00 in the morning? 💀 like I am sorry if your crops didn’t grow but I will take this winter over whatever shithole winter we had in 2012-13 where we had 10-15 inches of snow storms. Like my bad but it is what it is 🤷♂️
As the Grateful Dead said, "One man's heaven is another man's hell".
Depends on who you are. For me, this was the most disappointing winter yet. After living in the mountains of Idaho for 12 years, I grew quite fond of massive snowstorms.
Storms might be good in the mountains but they only bring hassle and loss to the cities.
Isn’t global warming great?
Nah please jinx it. I want some snow. It doesnt feel like connecticut anymore.
LET IT SNOW
once you bring it in it'll snow again. So be like everyone else and navigate around that stuff until summer
🤣🤣🤣
24" next week now. Thanks to you
Inb4 we get hit hard on April 1st /s
It's 1997 all over again!!
Put my shit away yesterday including heavy coats. If I’m wrong oh well but I think this is it.
I think i am about to put mines away today.
Please do put your stuff away, nice and tight, before the rest of us... that way when the inevitable spring blizzard hits we'll still be OK. Consider this "taking one for the team"
Like seriously, it’s pretty warm out in the afternoon nowadays and it all just makes me more and more suspicious everyday 🤨
Hold off till Memorial day weekend. This is New England and you never know what will happen.
If we keep the snowblower in front of the mower in the shed until we need to start mowing the lawn, it will ensure that we don't get more snow this winter.
Putting that shit away NOW is just asking for an Easter snow squall.
Memorial Day is may 29 which is almost June. I don’t think we get any snow right before June. I am only suspicious of the last week of march and the first week of April.

May 9th, 2020 we had a huge squall that dumped almost an inch of snow. I recorded and was really pissed off about it.
That was the day after my then-girlfriend's birthday, and I worked with her friends and family to set up a whole treasure hunt around Middlesex and New London counties, ending with a proposal (which she accepted and we have now been married for six months!)
I certainly remember being very surprised that I ended up having to do this event in a heavy coat, and I remember the flurries. Thanks for the nice memory. ☺️
Well internet stranger, your happy memory just stopped my disdain for my memory! So happy to hear it! Congratulations! :)
It has snowed in 2 of the last 3 Mays. Last Mother's Day we had a quarter to half an inch of snow right down to the shoreline.
Omg you’re right!
We are supposed to get another couple of inches of snow next Tuesday.
Seriously? Damn it.
😩
Ah shit, we're doomed now
The current generation is but whatever I guess.
I remember a couple of snowy Easters when I was growing up
As Prince sang, Sometimes It Snows in April...
Anyone who's been around long enough to remember 1997 knows you can't really claim victory over winter until at least April 1. Snow is absolutely still possible later in April (here in the hills of Putnam/Dutchess Counties NY, I remember that we actually had a dusting on the ground in May of 2020...) but by that point overall temperatures/ground temperature is usually high enough that it all melts away pretty quickly if it even accumulates at all.
The two major snow dumps this month were already uncharacteristically late in the season. Winter started out mild mainly due to La Niña. La Niña is over now, hence a more "normal" winter rolling in at the eleventh hour. I wouldn't be surprised if Mother Nature has one more left in her.
Geographically dependent as well. If you're along the coast, honestly you're probably in the clear. In the mountains of NWCT I wouldn't be packing up snow gear until after Easter.
We had snow?
No
I put everything away on Tuesday. My fault now if it snows. If we do get snow it won’t be much and it will melt quickly. You heard it here first. Lol
Hopefully the nature wasn’t waiting for you to Put your stuff away 😂
Bruh, end of April is pretty much the only time we can say ‘winter is done’ mid May if you never want to be wrong… and I live on the sound where we d” barely even got the last two storms.
Hehe I think we had only one proper snow storm Last month? Like you can actually call that a snow storm but everything else was just pretty light stuff.
Who are you asking? I’d like to know this person.
The average last frost date for coastal CT is around April 15 and last frost date for rest of the state is April 30, so that means snow is possible through April for most of the state.
I’m waiting for the inevitable 48” April Fools blizzard we will get to make up for all the lost snow
Never really needed to take it out in the first place
Im getting ready for spring HOWEVER I am not putting the snow shovels away. We know what that will do.
I don't think there is a certification process, but I doubt it. We'll probably get some April slush
I keep the scraper/brush in the trunk of the car 365.
Keep your snow tires on until Tax Day.
I took the orange markers down but that may just have asked for trouble so who knows. When it's late April I'll put the snowblower in the shed.
Whenever someone brings this up, I'm reminded of the April Fools Day storm of 1997. The reason I remember it is that it began the night of March 31, and my house in northern Westchester County lost power 5 minutes before the NCAA college basketball championship game was about to start so I listened to the game on my Walkman.
We got a lot of heavy snow and ice in Westchester and along the CT coast, areas more to the north got upwards of 1-2 feet of snow.
So, no, we're not officially done with snow. I won't run the gas out of my snow blower until May.
I put the snowblower out in the shed the other day so I can guarantee a snowstorm in April
I keep them handy until May in this state. CT is crafty.
Snow was fun as a kid. Exciting even. Hell, I even enjoyed shoveling out my parents cars.
Not anymore. About a month ago was the first time frost nearly fucked me over. I was already running late and I get to my car and the glass was just completely frozen, looked like an ice cube.
The second you do put it away, it will snow. So for the love of fucking god dont touch your shovel or i will blame u for it
If you put them away, it will snow
I've seen us yet snow up until may Seven.
Yes
It snowed on May 4th in 2021, fyi.

We were done in November
Last year we got snow in spring so i would not be surprised.
Hush! Never mock March & April in New England. Just quietly go about your business and if you happen to be enjoying springlike weather, soak it in calmly in solitude.
I don’t give up on snow until after my birthday in early April. Not that I’m advocating for it, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
No joke, snow forecasted in Bristol 3/29 and 4/3 according to Accuweather
I got two feet at my house accumulated this month alone.
Never forget April 1st 1997. Unless you we not alive. Just know nature has a way of getting us every so often.
it happens, power out for a week in 2016
not predictable
Ask nature
Not likely but I remember years where we had a random storm the first week or two of April
I mean we're probably okay, but just be ready for anything until tax day. Just three more weeks.
everything is unpredictable in connecticut lmfaooo
Sure! It NEVER snows in April in Connecticut….
We have had some big snow storms in April. I usually figure we're safe from snow after April 15th (tax day), but it can still snow after that. Fortunately the snow melts quickly this time of year.
"Officially"? Who do you believe is in charge of this?
yeah let me check my snow radar machine. What kind of question is this
didnt we get a bit of snowfall in may like a year or so ago in hartford county?
"Officially" the word is "maybe."
They are already talking about potential snow for Wednesday.
They'll change the weather again and it will be -20° outside next week. I'd wait til the first week of April.
What snow?!
You will find out real good on April 1st 🤣
I didn't use my snowblower once this season...
Yes I am god.. I know.. we are officially done.. you can tuck away the long Johns lol 😂
You can
My dad always waited until the end of May. Hell I remember hitting wintery condition during in Boston one year.
no.
Happens every year. April Snow
