I've been to York when it snowed, I've been to York when there have been downpours, and I've been to York when the temperature has been in the 90's. The truth is, that it really doesn't make much of a difference now if you're prepared. In the "old days" with the bandit shows, rain made a big difference. Now with everything indoors and mostly air conditioned, the weather isn't as much of an issue.

Just be prepared to enjoy yourself and have fun.

I've had to work out in all kinds of weather in my younger years.  Now in my 60s, I call traipsing between buildings at the fairgrounds to be "roughing it"!  

Just be prepared to enjoy yourself and have fun.  

I live about 10 miles away from the fairgrounds and we had an inch or two of snow this morning and it’s gone by this afternoon already. The forecasters keep saying it’s going to start warming up in the long range but as it draws closer they keep cutting temperatures back, I’m hoping they are wrong. I’m ready for warmer spring temperatures.

The weather forecast is just an indicator of what the weather might possibly be.

Sunday, April 22nd looks great, but I'll be gone by then.

Not sure where everyone is getting their weather forecasts but, Accuweather has this.  And it looks just like what DENNIS S reported earlier.

I can give you very accurate weather information once that day is over.

 

Although the weather at some Yorks have been better than others,

JUST BEING AT YORK IS WHAT COUNTS.

The "standard" for York is to always "go prepared for anything from winter weather with snow to balmy early summer short sleeve weather, and everything in between." Pack so you can layer your attire. Not sure why most folks give much thought to what it will be doing weatherwisw during those several days anyhow since most of the time people are indoors (and there is a between-buildings bus available if you fear getting your tootsies wet). About the only folks affected by the weather are those selling at or attending the early-week bandit meets, and those events have pretty much fizzled out in recent years to the point where they are hardly worth attending.

I prefer no rain or snow.  That seriously affects the parking lots.  I find that more than half of my purchases are made in the parking lots at the bandit meets.  Sellers in the parking lots are usually more motivated than those inside the hotels or at the fairgrounds.  IME.

If it rains at the fairgrounds, if I'm done shopping, I can always go listen to one of Rick Neely's medical lectures.
