Weatherman said we could get some and we got it. Not a lot, but it stuck to the ground. Not what you want to see in east central Pa. in mid April. At least it doesn't need to be shoveled. How about where you are?

Woke up to a winter wonderland here in northern CT. Still snowing! Of course, living here, I always keep a parka handy.

A large mall here had to block off an area yesterday to people and cars. Reason: a bear up a nearby tree. This kept folks and said bear safe until he decided to move on,

All an adventure!

No snow on Long Island, thankfully. They had said it was a possibility, but I'm grateful it passed us by. Honestly, the weather here has been rainy, dreary, cold, and just plain miserable for DAYS now. There really doesn't seem to be an end in sight, as most days in the forecast are calling for rain or clouds. It doesn't need to be 80 degrees, but is it too much to ask for just a touch of warmth and sun??? lol

We got snow sticking to the ground here in eastern MA. Great big wet flakes. Still wearing my fleece jackets here. Pretty but enough.

Rain mixed with snow/freezing rain here in SE PA. We always called this the "onion snow." It comes after the onions and other early spring veggies like sow peas have sprouted.

Beautiful weather here in Chicago, sunny, a little chilly but no snow. Thankfully, we've had very little snow every winter we've been here (8). Hope it continues. Don't mind the cold but do not like snow!

It's common for us to get blizzards in April. I'm praying we don't.

We had snow on Memorial Day in 2023. Spring skipped and It went from winter to summer that year.

Mid-Midwest.

They said that snow was in the air above but did not make it down to the ground. We've got rain here, 37 degrees and windy so the wind chill makes the air feel like below freezing. Spring, where are you?

Appears to be four inches on the deck railing with a little lesser amount throughout the yard. It's cold outside but Brody's out there enjoying it! Some areas reported seven inches overnight!

Gonna stay freezing all day, but into the 40's tomorrrow sohopefully it'll melt quickly!

Oh, forgot to mention, I live in central MA.

I'm in SE PA and it's been cold here for several days! Went down into the 20s two nights in a row.

I am so sick of the cold weather!! Can't wait for it to warm up and stay in the 70s and low 80s!!

ETA: We had torrential rain last night....still raining and was all day yesterday. It's been so dreary!

Same here, a coating of snow and ice in Connecticut. It's hard to imagine it's April.

Yup same here in NY. Didn't expect to be cleaning snow off my car on April 12.

In E PA, our rain turned to snow during the night. The grassy areas are covered in the white stuff, but the streets & sidewalks are just wet.

We've got cloudless, sunny skies with 88° today in Albuquerque way too warm for April, and 146 days since we had a drop of precipitation. Red Flag warning out for our Eastern Plains.

No complaints from me about the cool weather. However, when it becomes hot and humid I have plenty to say but will sum it up by saying, I find it so uncomfortable and wish it away!!!!! I will enjoy the cool weather while it lasts.

An Excerpt from "Two Tramps in Mud Time"
by
Robert Frost

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March.

(My Grandmother used to quote this every April. She loved Robert Frost! So do I.)
