Old Crappy Coatesville Snowfall Records!
So this is really pissing me off -- bogus snowfall from probably a drunken observer at Coatesville around the turn of the century. Here are his values compared to the 2 closest stations at the time, Kennett Square and West Chester
April 10-12, 1894: 29.2" KS - 8.8" and WC - 7.8"
