Fans of long winters may long remember 2009-2010 as a disappointment.
There was no measurable snow in March, according to Dave Sage of the National Weather Service, and combine that with a late snowfall to start the season, it may be the shortest winter on record for Genesee County.
"It's pretty unusual," Sage told WBTA. "We didn't even have our first measurable snow until Dec. 1. If Feb. 28 is truly the last time we had measurable snow, it will be the shortest period, just a 90-day period, between the first measurable snow and the last measurable snow, and that would be a record."
The last time there was no snow in March was in the 1870s.
Sage, noted, however, that it's at least theoretically possible we'll get more snow before summer. In 1989, the region was hit with 8 inches of snow on one day in May.

I remember that storm ~ it was right around Mother's Day. I lived on Circular Hill Rd. @ the time & we lost power for nearly 3 days. Weather you wouldn't expect in May, that's for sure.
