Spring is going to return later this week but definitely not today haha. Getting whacked with a snow squall at the moment. 
 

 

Could see some 2-4" accums Altoona and west.   it has been impressive out there today.  I think 3-4 of our most wintery days have happened since March 1.

I’m sure the higher Laurel’s ridges are racking some snow up with the strength of these squalls today. I probably would have added another couple inches here so far today if it was the dead of winter. I’m impressed that a good bit of yesterday’s snow is still on the ground. 

I’ll add that I have definitely been ready for the warmer seasons to take hold. The last several weeks have really reminded me of 2018. Most of that April was brutal too.

2018 flipped right into summer, did it not?   I think this cool spring goes well into May but hopefully a transition at some point.   The irony again is that MDT is right around normal.

Can’t speak for MDT, but all 31 days of May 2018 at PIT were above the normals in place at the time and the month finished at +8.9.

April 2018 at MDT had a handful of very warm days but ended up over 4 degrees below normal at MDT.   Then May went to above normal similar to your info.   The thread I read in the Ohio Valley forum suggested May would be delayed vs. May 2018 as to the actual warm up.  Again, using tellies so...
