I think we have more chances for snow this week and weekend than we did all winter.

Most of our snow has come in the last half of the winter. More is expected tomorrow, with just a glancing blow in the Twin Cities (1-3 inches) with southern and southwestern Minnesota getting 6 (150mm) or more.

Where is global warming when you need it??

Down south. There is much concern for the poor old Great Barrier Reef's welfare. Bleaching of coral isn't good. The Commonwealth Games continues apace and at least they are happy. Further Down South in NSW, we are having glorious midsummer weather in what should be mid-autumn. That is to say, compared to the hellishly hot summer weather we did have @47C in the actual mid-summer last December-January. Now maximum temperatures range from 37C all the way down to still salubriously warm temperatures of 27C. An improvement on 47C but still hot nonetheless. Do I get the impression that Northern America has turned into the North Pole???

North Pole, Wagga? It certainly feels like it. But, no Polar Bears have been seen roaming down the city streets, yet. Those in the zoo may actually be wondering if their back home.
As stargazer reported we at getting a glancing blow now. The news stations are already predicting more on the way, but with the temps slowly rising we might see more rain than snow.
Perhaps, with those warmer temps, and melting snow, the robins, and other migratory birds will stop looking so confused

Last weekend our orange tree broke out in blossom which it hasn't done since the beginning of spring. It is confused, no doubt.

Meanwhile, our temperatures keep trying to break record lows, coming close but not succeeding. However, Friday we did tie a 79-year-old record for the coldest April 6 ever, with a high temperature of 26F/-3C (the average is up to a toasty 55F/12C now).

We received more snow yesterday, moving us up to the 8th snowiest April on record (at the airport; our location has received more snow).

As the saying goes "Here we go again".
The next band is already cutting across the state as I type this. With the temps in the lower 40's F where The Mrs., and I reside we will get rain first, with snow to follow overnight. Then add the wind tomorrow, aaaaaand, Yes, we have winter again!
Some one posted something on another forum yesterday. Claiming that Mother Nature is dressed for the season, and ready. But Father Time is driving, and lost, and refuses to ask directions.
I think perhaps it's more like Father Time is waiting in the car, looking at his watch, while Mother Nature is still deciding which shoes go with her spring outfit.

This is a truly remarkable storm. Severe weather extends pretty much north to south across the entire central US, from blizzard conditions here to tornadoes and hail in the far south.

Hurricane-force winds of 78mph/125 km/hr damaged buildings in southwest Minnesota yesterday, and one town reported pea-sized hail accumulation of 2 inches/50mm. It is windy and snowy here in the Twin Cities now, with the main event yet to come this evening and tonight. We may well set the records for snowiest April storm and snowiest month of April. Maybe it will melt by July.

Down Under, retailers are panicking because all the autumn/winter fashions are out and nobody wants to buy lovely hot overcoats, jumpers etc.

So far, we've had the hottest April weather ever. We are still in drought and thunderstorms have virtually disappeared. Some days it is unbearably hot and humid, but that has gone with a wind starting up yesterday afternoon. We are promised rainy and stormy weather soon, but it seems it is stuck up North, and Mother Nature is already late for the Southern Hemisphere show down. To think there was a year in 1990-1991, when it was possible to set a watch by 3.00 pm summer/autumn thunderstorms.

That's so crazy to think how your weather is hot and dry and we're having such a blast of winter here.
*waves to her fellow popsicles*
In Kansas, the weather is quite bi-polar. Yesterday my kids were outside playing in the wading pool, this morning I went out and the pool had iced over. What??

We'd gladly send some moisture your way, wagga (or to the US desert southwest which is also in severe drought). 20 inches (508mm) of new snow this weekend, with a southern suburb reporting 27.1 (688mm). Snowiest April ever, beating out 1983. Oh, with 3-6 inches more coming in a couple days.

(At least it's not January, when bitter cold well below zero would be here now).

We're getting warmer weather now, with our maximum temperatures usually above 10 C. Spring is here, in the north of England.
A strange warm patch this week will take our weather into summer temperatures for a day or so midweek!

Here in southern Oregon we're having cold icky weather as well(that's one reason I've been so quiet, well that and health issues). It's supposed to start getting better though from now on, up into the low 60s by the weekend.

The weather has been really inconsistent here in Ohio. Over the last week we've gone from snow, to sunny and 80 degrees, to heavy rain and now back to snow again. It's supposed to warm up again later this week, but this has been one of the strangest springs weather wise I've never seen.

Our bi-polar weather has mellowed out finally. Highs in the mid 60Fs and lows in the upper 30Fs and low 40Fs. We have much needed rain in the forecast now, Yay!
I hope all you northerners have been able to dig yourselves out of the snow.
