Snowmageddon was accountable for a 400% increase in Fall births in this area according to the local hospitals. It was in the Washington Post at the time.

Wow op, you figured it out! When dh and I were TTC, we ONLY had sex in January, February, and March. I wanted a fall baby for this extremely particular reason, so it took several years of trying since we ONLY did it 3x a year.

+1 to snowmageddon. There was nothing else to do but get pregnant.

You seriously think that people are timing their intercourse based on kindergarten for the child they are timing their child to conceive? In your theory, what happens if someone doesn't conceive in the appropriate redshirt window? Put their dreams of a family on hold for another year?

No, it's because snowmaggedon was 5 years and 9 months ago. Everyone was stuck at home for a long period of time.

It's because it is cold in January and February. Duh.

Just wondering. The huge number of October and November birthdays in my DS's preschool class is mind boggling, the list of November birthdays in one of his other classes is unbelievably long, and I've seen a ton of very pregnant women who looked like they would be due in late October or November. Could this be related to gaming the system for kindergarten--get an extra year of preschool and enter K as one of the oldest kids while avoiding the stigma of potentially redshirting? Before I moved here, I knew very few people with October or November birthdays.
