There was more than an inch or across N Illinoiis yesterday. We got a dusting, b ut the biggest thing here is the Big Muddy, flooding higher than the first crest a couple weeks ago. Quad cities area has been above flood stage for like 48 days now. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

WARNING!!! When you go to visit Shameless and out in the yard you see the green army tarp covering up something out behind the barn, don't go to thinking your going to peek under it. If so, you are only going to get snowed on. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

All the record keepers are saying the last snow in Chicago was this last one they just had the end of April 2019. I don't know the year my Grandma took this Picture of my Grandpa in the Hot Bed Yard checking his cabbage plants but she wrote May 9th as the date. The farm was located at 3837 west 111th Chicago 43 Illinois. I recon the May 9 date is probably the REAL Record latest Chicago snowfall ever. As a kid growing up on this farm I remember helping my Grandparents and my folks during the winter in the yard pictured above . I helped roll the reed matts off the glass sash in the morning and back down in the evening to keep the beds warm at night. This late in the season the glass was already off on the most cold hardy plants. They must have heard the snow was coming and rolled the mats down to keep the cabbage plants from getting buried in snow.

If'n when I find that machine, I'm not worried about getting snowed on. Because when I get done with it, Shameless won't be able to find enough scrap metal left of it to make one round of ammunition for his red Ryder BB gun. Darrel |

After searching I find the latest May snowfall for Chicago to be, May 22nd 1917. If I was to guess it was close to the year Grandma took the snapshot of my Grandpa in a May Chicago snow. My Dad was born in 1915. All I know is it was long before I was Born on May 28,1940 I also read it snowed in May 30 times since records were kept. Looking at the photo I posted I see a hay stacker crane in the background. That crane is in lots of old snapshots Grandma took of the farm

| Aw Hell, NE got MORE snow yet the other day, SHEESH!! MO river is just plain nuts and I cannot remember a wetter spring even LAST year's. Was told likely three weeks until break point on Corn, a few weeks after as break point on Beans. May be a really LEAN crop year. |

tadams--no flooding anywhere around here. Been too dry with lots of grass and brush fires. Mostly start in ditches from smokes tossed from vehicles. Lots of wind here in the spring and that gets 'em going! Snows overnight and looks like winter when i get up, but as soon as the sun gets up, it;s all gone by about 10:30 AM or so. Don't seem to be much moisture in it. |

We're likely to have $7 corn and $16 beans if we have an early frost this year. http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/1816-year-without-a-summer/" rel="nofollow - http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/1816-year-without-a-summer/ ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
