Today we experienced below average temperatures ranging between the upper 40s to lower 50s, but while it may have felt chilly, on this day 93 years ago, Delmarva was experiencing quite the snowstorm.
Fifteen inches of snow and ice feel on the Delmarva Peninsula on Apr. 3, 1915. This storm brought 10 inches of snow to Salisbury, Md. Outside Delmarva, this storm produced 17 inches of snow only three hours away in Trenton, N.J. and 19.4 inches of snow in Philadelphia, Pa. New York, N.Y. had a total of 10.2 inches of snow, but even Richmond, Va. Received 10 inches of snow.
If you thought today was cold, at least we are seeing rain instead of 10 inches of snow. Personally, I think we could use a good snowstorm!!
