However, snow will likely be quite heavy at times later this morning and early afternoon so a quick 4-7 cm is not out of the question. Snow may mix with a bit of rain this afternoon... but the dominant precip type today looks like snow.<br /><br />Again I must stress the cold coming starting tomorrow and lasting through the entirety of the work week. Looking a models reminds me more of January than April for sure. We will flirt with record lows and record low maximums for at least 4 consecutive days. Note that the latest we've ever hit -20°C was April 12, 1881 and the latest we've ever hit -15°C was April 16, 1875... Keeping that in mind, this next cool down could be quite the event.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-29602370750449819642014-04-11T13:26:48.923-05:002014-04-11T13:26:48.923-05:00Normal highs have now reached double digits as of ...Normal highs have now reached double digits as of today using the 1981-2010 normal...

It may seem like there's more, but in reality a lot of what remains is just in shady areas and due to drifting and snow piles from plows and shoveling.
