Baltimore can see snow in April, even May
FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
John Hasler writes from Sparks with a question: “When is the last day in spring, on record, when there has been a measurable snowfall in Baltimore?” At the risk of tempting the weather gods … The latest measurable snow for Baltimore was the 0.1-inch that fell on April 28, 1898. But the latest in this century was a 0.2-inch dusting on April 7, 2007 – just four years ago. We’ve had traces of snow as late as May 11, in 1951. The most recent May flakes fell on May 1, 1963.

Does that mean you're re-opening the snow contest?
FR: If they get measurable snow at BWI, I'll have to award another fabulous prize.

I recall seeing brief snow flurries on 15 May in Baltimore (Timonium), many years ago. Nothing measurable, but shocking....
