Weirdest Weather Day

What’s the Weirdest Weather Day You Can Remember?

For me, it had been about 30 years ago.

It was shorts weather Halloween day and by nightfall, it was snowing.

I seem to remember a few days like that. Powerful cold fronts, I reckon.

How about you all?

I remember driving in a thunder snow squall a lot of years ago. Also another drive where the precipitation type kept changing back and forth between snow/sleet and rain.

I remember hearing thunder last year during an ice storm. And boy did a lot of ice fall during that LOL

It wasn't a one day event, but worst winter season I remember was 77-78 here in South Central Illinois. We had a major ice storm followed by blizzard conditions. There was a fairly thick ice accumulation and then a cold front moved through with high winds and much colder temperatures. Power poles were snapped off all over. A second low pressure system followed on the heels of the first, but with the colder temperatures in place it produced snow. We were without power for 3 days here in town, but some people out in the country were out for over two weeks. Luckily we had a gas space heater in one room that would work without electricity. It wasn't very warm, but we got by. School was out for a long time. That whole Winter had multiple snow storms and prolonged cold.

I guess I also need to mention the 2009 Derecho that hit Southern Illinois
