Now that I've thought about it, 1988 had March 28 that year, which was a pretty decent chase day....then it all just quit.
 
I was just thinking yesterday that I can count the number of quality April chases I've had on one hand. Same with March.

However, this year has seemed unusually quiet thus far. I've yet to have an actual chase (I missed out on March 27), and I've only seen a single supercell, when a low-topped storm tracked across the northern part of DFW on April 6. I think the last time I saw an actual hail stone was last June, as there was no Fall season to speak of last year.

I don't know if it means anything, though. Things were slow last March and April, too, and look what happened the first couple of weeks of May.
