Back To Winter -- As We Move Into May

Don writes to tell me they may see snow in southwest North Dakota tonight.

Meanwhile, USA Today is recapping the prolonged winter.

April has been a freakishly cold month across much of the northern USA, bringing misery to millions of sun-starved and winter-weary residents from the Rockies to the Midwest.

"The weather map ... looks like something out of The Twilight Zone," Minneapolis meteorologist Paul Douglas of WeatherNation TV wrote on his blog last week.

Record cold and snow has been reported in dozens of cities, with the worst of the chill in the Rockies, upper Midwest and northern Plains. Several baseball games have been snowed out in both Denver and Minneapolis. 

And AcuWeather is reporting:

Another blast of cold air will charge southward across the Plains this week, which will lead to more spring snow for Denver.

The Weather Channel: back to winter.

Minneapolis - The 70+ degree temperatures we've seen since this past Friday were nice while they lasted. Highs in the 40s and even upper 30s are expected Wednesday through Friday. Some snow is possible as well.
