...Brings Mud Season! And any snow that falls is called "Poor man's fertilizer." Especially after the farmers plow the fields. Yes it can still snow well into April, even double digits. The 3rd & 4th, 1975 (12.7"), and the 6th & 7th, 1982 are good examples. Now I can add the 4th & 5th, 2007 to the list. The 10.4" on 4-13-1962 is the latest recorded double digit snowfall. The 30th is the only day without recorded snow--
