Its crazy what just happened in the Plains and Upper MidWest. Normal April snowfall in Minneapolis is 2.4"! They got 22" and still snowing! Most April snow on record there. People digging out this morning across Southern MN and Iowa and Wisconsin.

As I pointed out with the 850mb temp map, it was impressive to see that dive south with that cold airmass and the upper low over southern Plains.

You aren’t kidding.

Weekend from hell in my area.

Over 500 road accidents in the GTA, very slippery road conditions.

Except for one “mild” day (last thursday 18C) April has been consistantly well below normal.
Forecast for next week is also below normal too.

Remarkable to see snow cover so persistent and deep this far into April. Don't think I've ever seen anything like this in my life. As someone who loves snow though, this boosted my snow totals above average for the season

I look at maps multiple times a day and seeing things I'm sure many others don't bother looking at. It's interesting to say the least. The persistency of it is what fascinates me.

Couple maps from this morning..


1st, surface temps and Upper Heights..





2nd... Temps at 5000' and Upper Heights.


Looks like a cold trough entering the PacNW again.
You don't see closed Upper Lows that far south over Iowa with that cold of an airmass in April often.





Current Surface Map.. Big Ole Canadian High and a cold front over D.C now





Snow cover this morning.. You can scroll back previous years to see how it compares.

Looks like we're stuck in this pattern for April (in the NE). Is there anything on the horizon indicating we'll have actual spring weather in May?

Heavy rain about 85 miles to my west offshore where i fished all the time. If the upper level support holds together i may get lucky and get .50" or more. Moving slow at this time.

This is insane. It's definitely not changing my mind about moving south this fall... should've moved last fall.
