“Best things happened when it snowed”

Lorelai lists all the wonderful things which occurred during snow.

Her best birthday: Lorelai’s birthday is in April. It doesn’t usually snow heavily in Hartford in April, but you can get some light snow, especially early in the month. Once in a while a very chilly spring can produce a significant snowfall in April.

Her first kiss: We don’t know when this occurred, just that it must have been during cold weather.

Rory’s first steps: Babies usually start walking at around 9-12 months of age. For it to snow on the day, Rory must have started walking around her first birthday, in October or November 1985.

Rory’s birth: Rory was apparently born in a snow storm. Although it’s normal to get the first snowfall of the year in Hartford in late October, a snow storm would be highly  unusual. In real life, there was no snow storm in Hartford in October 1984.
