Weekend Weather Trivia for March 15, 2009: Spring Snow
You might have seen snowflakes blowing past your nose during this past week!
Snow in March isn't rare, in fact it's our fourth snowiest month here in Green Country. In recent history, I well remember the half-foot of snow which fell on March 2 of 2002. The all-time 24 hour snowfall record for Tulsa also occurred during March when 13 inches fell during March 8-9 of 1994.
Interesting note-- my family lived in Abilene, Texas before making Tulsa our home. The all-time 24 hour snowfall total for Abilene surprisingly occurred during April! The Easter Snow of April 3, 1994 produced 10-15 inches of snow throughout West Texas.
Back here in Tulsa, the latest date in the Spring with a trace of snow is April 18, 1953. This will be the answer to Sunday's March 15, 2009 Weekend Weather Trivia question.
During Sunday's 9-10am newscast, send us an email to weekendamshow@kjrh.com with your name, city and correct guess as we're giving away a Weather Alert radio and a Family Safety Kit from the American Red Cross this month. Deana will pull out two winning names at the end of the newscast-- good luck and thanks for watching!
