how many remember the big snow we had on easter day here, in the ironton area, some years back. i could not believe it.

I can remember there being a lot of snow around Easter. About 10 years ago or so ? maybe the same storm.

I can remember listening to a Cleveland Indians game on a local radio station on that day and they cut in with a Winter Storm update between innings.

That was also weird, listening to baseball on the radio and being under a "Winter Storm Warning".

People look like I am crazy when I tell them that the best time to get a big blizzard in the Ohio Valley is March through Early April ! When the weather pattern is active and going through a transition.

WHY EASTER IS EARLY THIS YEAR...

As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon
after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based
on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is
why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Here are a couple of things in which you might be interested! Based on the
above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty
rare.

Here's the interesting information. This year is the earliest Easter any of
us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our
population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!).

And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!

Here are the facts:

1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228
(220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're
95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).

2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year
2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no
one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

AN EARLY HAPPY EASTER TO YOU!
