Honestly, I have absolutely no idea. I was going to say maybe CAD but It's warmer than that already there so not sure why it showed 30s. I wonder if forecasts were showing the same thing for that area. I looked at the RAP, Hi-Res NAM as well and it Looks like all models underestimated the temps there.
Interesting that they were all off. Generally, over here, when short range models predict high temperatures off by 10-15°F, it's because they expected the sun to burn off low altitude clouds or fog while it didn't (or the inverse).
Though maybe it's not the case since the March sun is already pretty potent at 40N. Usually, when it's sunny, snow-covered areas are a few degrees cooler than bare ones, but not by that much.
13" (33 cm) of snow overnight brings the snowfall this season to 383" (972 cm), with a current depth of 137" (347 cm). It's snowing now, but the forecast is for clearing later followed by 3 solid days of sunshine and high temps in the mid to high 20s F.

Just amazing and insane. Forgive me if I missed it but I don't remember seeing pictures. I think we would all love to see how 137" depth looks in an area where people live. :-)

My thinking is that the same air temp is just flowing down the mountains therefore creating similar temps and not a big contrast East/West of Apps. Since temps aloft aren't cold over the mountains it's flowing down without changing big.
Also the fact there's no particular ridge in central U.S, its more zonal from the Plains Eastward so there's no true "heat" so to speak West of the Apps. If there was a Ridge West of the Apps then most likely you would see the bigger contrast.

Just went for a jog and started sweating before the 1st mile. but I'll take the dryness with this heat. Inside of house now mid 70s. Looks like my A/C might go on tonight.
Your house must heat very quickly. We are at 73F outside and the house is 74.
