Two hours spent on a snowy I-75 had the Icon editor feeling pretty sorry for herself on April 18, 2022. But this Bluffton News excerpt from Fred Steiner at www.BlufftonForever.com is a topper's club story to beat our 1.3 inches of snow that quickly melted. 

May snow storm

Wednesday morning

A winter snowstorm on a small scale swept over town for several hours Wednesday morning. The snow flurries were accompanied by rain and colder weather.

Old-timer residents recalled events of forty years ago when this section was covered with a snowfall of 18 inches on May 22, 1883, blanketing fields of corn and sleighing parties enjoyed along country roads bordered with fruit trees in full bloom.
