Question

What is the earliest that snow has fallen in South Bend, Indiana?

Answer 1

Of the records I can find, the earliest measurable snowfall was recorded on September 25th of both 1994 and 1942.  

Answer 2

In 1816, after that volcano blew up, methinks it snowed in July.

Answer 3

It can snow at anytime here. It's snowed on Halloween frequently, although not much of the stick to the ground type, just enough to make trick or treating miserable. In 1993, I remember it snowed in June. That could be the earliest or the latest depending on how you look at it. The weather around here is completely goofy- its snowed, sleeted, rained, and been hot as you know what all in the same week!
