I wonder how this is coded in. Would it be that if rain is determined and the temperature is below 32º, (or 0º for our Canadians/Europeans/everywhere else that's not America), it turns into snow?

Sabres2000 · 02-17-2014, 10:58 AM

during this game it was 30o

Snow falls above freezing.

It snowed on April 7, 1977 was the first ever Toronto Blue Jays game, played at the old Exhibition Stadium.

The Indians have had whole series snowed out in April. They had to move that one series to Miller Park (I think) several year ago.

My online league team is in Duluth. I get a lot of snow in April in game.

I've been to games personally in Ottawa where it was snowing.

But wouldn't it theoritically melt as soon as it was in the 33°+ range in the atmosphere?

My point was that atmospheric temperatures are often lower than reported weather temperatures. Snow may melt but the conditions under which it falls are not rigid. Snow squalls are often local, in the case of the Blue Jays 1977 opener it was not snowing 20k away from Exhibition Stadium.

The lake effect works down there too.

-2 was probably with the windchill (or maybe it was Pearson Airport (was it called pearson then) vs by the lake)

Windchill is a feeling, not a value. A snow flake is not affected by windchill.

but Temperature gets reported as an equivalent, so i wonder if this is where the reports of -2 that i had read come from.

Cleveland several years ago has a snowed out series the 1st week in April. The way things have been going so far we might have snow in June. Watching The Day After Tomorrow on USA right now.

I know for a FACT it's snowed here while the outside air temperature was reported to be in the 40s. It didn't STICK, but it was definitely snowing.

RchW · 02-19-2014, 05:52 PM

Nobody ever been in a hailstorm in the summer?
