The local news also mentioned the odd snow color and its source.

The Twin Cities avoided most of the extreme weather, though the 8.9 inches (225mm) of snow is good enough for 10th place on the April snowstorm list. It's still snowing, so it may move up in the list.

We had everything yesterday: high winds, snow, rain, wind, drizzle, thundersnow, and thundersleet. It was pretty if you didn't have to drive anywhere.

It was a different story west and south of here. A town near Aberdeen, SD, reported 25 inches (635mm) of snow, with whiteout and blizzard conditions. Hundreds of power poles were blown down by ice and wind in southern Minnesota and one county declared a state of emergency since so many were without power in the (relatively) cold conditions. Accidents closed Interstates 94 and 35 for several hours but conditions are improving now.

Tomorrow is the first chance this year for severe storms in my area. I hate to admit this, but I'm looking forward to it (there are no tornadoes forecast). I LOVE thunder and lightning

This is April in Ontario ... we had a beautiful spring snowfall only a short while ago, but tomorrow is going to hit 18C/64F, then fall by 10 degrees to more seasonal for Easter weekend. We had a lovely thunderstorm (our first one for 2019) a few nights ago, and more rain is expected tonight, along with some electrical action too, apparently. Rain tomorrow through Saturday, with Easter Sunday being sun/cloud, high of 13C/55F. My crocuses have just come in bloom, so pretty.

I LOVE thunder and lightning

DITTO-DITTO!!!

We had a little bit of snow (3 inches?) here in Penrith area, jo, and knew that you would have liked it, even if no one else did.

Haha, yep.

Actually, this morning when I went out (6:50), I had to scrape the ice off the car. Tough stuff!

And yet Washington Post is talking about rapidly melting of ice in Alaska. It is still rather warm for this time of year, & still too dry. We'll see by Thursday which is ANZAC day this week. Chilly enough for the traditional Dawn Service though.

We've had 3 days of nice weather, actually suitable for wearing shorts, then another storm system moved in and it started raining overnight, off and on since then. Really wanting like a week of dry weather so we can get stuff done outside. Getting a few runner ducks in the next few days that needed to be re-homed and haven't been able to properly clean out their new quarters. Would like to get it done BEFORE they're here, but oh well.

Here in London, UK, we are having a very warm Easter. At 3 pm it's 23 degrees C, and the sky is blue, the wind is light.

Have to get myself some more clothing for this warmer weather!

I must report a fairly Good Easter weather wise. A tad on the cool side, and a little bit of a breeze. But, still fairly Good.
The temps look to be on a slow upswing with mid 60'sF today, and some ten degrees warmer tomorrow.
Chance of rain on Thursday morning, and a cool down ( knew that was coming didn't you? ) this weekend, along with some wet stuff falling from the sky.
For the most part we cannot complain as the multiple feet of snow is almost gone. Some of the bigger piles yet linger ( I actually saw one that was over three stories high in the Twin Cities a month ago. Still there, no doubt. )
The Mrs., and I enjoyed our first outside fire this evening after some yardwork, and even cooked some Brats. Hoping it will be the first of many.

Easter was quite pleasant here, and we've enjoyed a couple backyard fires. That April snow is all gone, and things are greening up quickly. The trees are blooming and so are my allergies.

A chance of snow is in the forecast for the northern part of the state.

For the first time this spring the forecast for the upcoming week is all storms. *throws confetti* Ready for some proper, tornado-free, hail-free, thunderstorms. I mean, they're just a requirement of springtime in Kansas.

After a few days of somewhat warmer weather we are once again told by those folks on the news that the dreadful white stuff might make a brief showing tomorrow night
Personally, i am in denial I just mowed my lawn for the first time this year. After that there must be some rule, set in stone, ever to be followed. "No snow shall fall after the mower has been used."
Alas. The cooler temps shall not relinquish it's grasp with 50'sF showing by Wednesday, along with showers on, and off most of the week.
Ah well. At least the grass seed is getting watered.

We're having a rainy/stormy week this week. Two nights ago we had penny-sized hail that came in riding the winds of a collapsed tornado. In fact there was so much hail that yesterday afternoon at about 1pm my neighbors still had a mountain of the stuff sitting in their yard. It was 70F/20C.

I think we're passed the severe stuff now, but flooding is a concern all over the eastern and southeastern part of the state.

Weather's warming up again, and I really hope we don't have a fire season like last year or worse. Already been 3 or 4 fires about an hour away from here already, and it's not even officially fire season yet. And our specific area seems to be a magnet for any smoke from a fire within 500 miles. I like breathing...

It certainly trying to behave like summer weather. Still a bit chilly in the morning with temps in the upper 30'sF. But warming up quite well. At least until the early evening when the a slight drizzle to dampen any more yard work. But, by then we were both tuckered out, so, eh!
Looks like we might see 70F by Monday with on, and off rain. I can stand at least some rain especially with the grass seed coming up so well.
I don't know if it's the Marsh-wiggle, or being in Minnesota, but with fishing opener this weekend I more-or-less expected a bit more of a wash out.

Nippy mornings here but still very dry & brightly sunlit. It has been snowing down in the Snowy Mountains, a bit later than it has done for this time of year. Winter is finally on the way.

Meanwhile winter can't decide about leaving here. Just the other day we reached 82F/28C, the first day in 241 that we reached 80F.

Now there is a cool rain outside and snow north of here, and our area is under a frost advisory for tonight.
