We had a lot of late snow in March, but nothing beats 1881 when after the big storm in early March (see our post from March 3) led to more snow storms in that month and into April 1881. This stereoscope view is actually dated April of 1881.
In fact, in the Whitewater Register on April 21, 1881, a Whitewater citizen is quoted, “Here it is the 13th day of April and hardly a spot of bare ground to be seen, and plenty of snow banks four feet deep. The situation finally improved later in the month, but there was extensive flooding due to rain and snow melt.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
