PHOTOS | Remembering Cleveland Indians' 2007 'Snow-pening Day'

Hey, remember that time it snowed during the Cleveland Indians' home opener?

Hey, remember that time it snowed during the Cleveland Indians' home opener?

We'll remind you:

It was April 6, 2007. The game was one strike from being official. With that strike, the Indians could've walked off the field with an official win over the Seattle Mariners.

Instead, Mike Hargrove, then manager of the Mariners, demanded the game be delayed due to the snow.

Both teams, and a handful of brave fans, sat for an hour and 17 minutes until the game was officially called. Fans spent that delay building snowmen and trying to stay warm. One fan was seen jumping the wall to make a snow angel in right field before officers escorted him off. We should probably mention the game's start time had already been delayed nearly an hour due to snow.

Take a look back at some photos from that frigid day -- and take a look at Monday's forecast. The Channel 3 weather team is predicting a chance of snow and rain with temperatures in the 30s to low 40s.

But look on the bright side, Cleveland fans: last time it snowed on the home opener, the Indians made the playoffs.
