Yes, it's the concurrent date in April. We had thunder with snow in Texas in February, too, so we know not to plant a garden until after that date in April. Ordinarily, you could fairly well figure on late March, here.
The storms that are now in the east started here with a bang last night. Lightning, serious high winds, very heavy hail, and then a 20 minute deluge of rain. It ended so abruptly it was startling, and moved off to the NE.
