Snow in April? Well, according to Weather Service records, one of the biggest snow storms happened on April 5, 1933. That’s when 28 inches fell on the old Pigeon River Bridge crossing here in Cook County. That still stands as the state record for a 24 hour snowfall in April. Two Harbors measured 17 inches in one day during that same storm.
