Side note, the snow immediately started sticking. So much for the myth of snow not sticking after warm temps. It was 80 just 36hr ago...

We hear that myth all the time and its always proven wrong. Despite snow sticking in late April 36 hours after it was 80, I can just hear it next February when a wet snow threat is on the horizon after hitting 40 the day before

[IWXwx]

From IWX's Facebook page. Even if dry conditions develop this summer, at least we aren't starting off dry:

 

[weatherbo]

The hits keep on coming for you. Do you have solid snow cover or is it broken up now?

A chilly 35° with a few flurries here.

Was down to patches and piles......was!

[BowMeHunter]

Put another log on the fire AM in the upper midwest..  

 

Record snowfall here yesterday..  .2" 

[BowMeHunter]

Was out drinking last night but yeah, thundersnow...still nearly an inch on the grassy and elevated surfaces.  Awful.

 

 

Good Morning, Geos  

 

Congrats though!  is that your 2nd deepest snow pack of the winter?

Side note, the snow immediately started sticking. So much for the myth of snow not sticking after warm temps. It was 80 just 36hr ago... 

 

Yeah, but it was also one of the cheapest and most transient first 80's we've ever had. It occurred at 1:42PM during a string of observations of winds gusting to 40-50+ MPH...and then a severe squall line moved through and immediately knocked us back to the 60's. It's not like the ground really had a chance to warm up. Not exactly the first pool day of the season either.  

 

 

Oh, and with the early morning snow showers today (0.02"), DTW has recorded at least a trace of precipitation every single day for two weeks - since 4/7.

[McDude]

I'm in Louisville was 85 when arrived thursday, 45 yesterday. Might hit 50 today. Can't even escape the cold on vacation!

[Brewers]

MKE set a daily snowfall record yesterday lol.

[BowMeHunter]

even Alek didn't have a green one this AM.

[Geos]

Good Morning, Geos

 

Congrats though!  is that your 2nd deepest snow pack of the winter?

 

Haha, wow Alek. Who would have known on April 20th.

 

Just a trace of snow here yesterday, low 28° this morning.

[daddylonglegs]

[daddylonglegs]

Now I get why temps are going nowhere today:

 

[daddylonglegs]

[mnweather]

The  -14 degrees this morning at Embarrass, MN was a statewide record for April 20, it was also the coldest temperature ever observed in Minnesota during the second half of April.

They (MN) is having a Spring for the books. Winter wont give up its death grip. For around here its all familiar with other notable "cool" Springs. North of I80 has yet to latch on to a sustained spring wamth. Had a chat with another weather geek earlier about past cool Springs in SeMI. 2005,2007 and 2011 all stand out and this current spring mimics fairly good.

April 1857

 

April was extraordinarily backward, monthly mean temperature (32 F) the lowest ever recorded for this month in the Twin Cities vicinity. Precipitation was heavy, 4.25 inches falling on 9 days. Only three afternoons over the first eighteen got as warm as the 40′s, and numerous days over the period experienced blustery northerly winds. On the 4th, a heavy rainstorm dropped 1.10 inches, the following afternoon just 22 F at 2PM with force 6 (45 miles per hour) northwesterlies. A January-like 3 F was recorded next morning, the 6th. Following another storm on the 9th that dropped .70 inches of rain and snow mixed, a nine-day spell of some of the coldest weather ever experienced this late in April followed. The 10th was only 18 F at 7AM with force 7 northwesterlies (60 miles per hour), midafternoon just 25 F with force 5 (35 mile per hour) winds from the same direction. Six of the next eight afternoons failed to rise above 32 F, 7AM readings on the 15th and 16th only 13 F and 11 F, respectively, with force 4 northwesterlies (25 miles per hour) on each. Fort Ripley was 4 F on the 17th, “the [Mississippi] river yet closed & the earth covered with about a foot of snow”. The first 50 F reading of the month (and year) at Snelling didn’t come until the 24th, the Pioneer & Democrat reporting that day that the “snow has [finally] disappeared and grass is shooting up”. On the 29th, the mercury reached 64 F at Snelling for virtually the only seasonably mild afternoon of the month, the first boat through Lake Pepin finally docking in St. Paul on the 1st of May, a record-late date.

 

Avg temp this month is 36.2F...
