So it's 11am, 850s aren't that cold (not below freezing, but not warm either), reason why it's still 30s and 40s almost lunchtime April 18th? Clouds and wind direction.
High Pressure near Nova Scotia sending cold water Northeast winds down. Add clouds in the mix and the sun can't even warm us up. Imagine when the sun is weaker in the future .
Look what I came across in Norwalk, CT this morning. Elevation 60 feet. 10 minutes from I-95/beaches. Latitude 41.11°N
Actually its pretty awesome to see because we never see it around here this late. This is from February and it's not like we got 3 feet of snow in February. Last biggest snowstorm we had was 11" on Feb 13th. Only 3 more events just 1-2 inches after that.
You can see where I kicked it (not in disgust LOL). It was still nice and white underneath

Cold cold waters off the coast of the Northeast... Only 5-7C covering a huge area
When the Arctic Snowy owl came down this way in November it was the sign. LOL. Man this winter really did a 1-2 punch deal. As we know waters take a while to warm/cool off. I wonder when they will warm up and more importantly how deep the cold waters got. That depth of cold takes a while and then you have the mixing involved too.
We should of started a 2014 Spring Ice-Snow Thread. Oh well... almost done...I think..
I Feel Your frustration and anger Chicago George, I hope that this frigging cold blast doesn't happen to close out April, and as always, the Midwest is looking to get the worst of it, I will be VERY PO'D if this forecast pans out. Nevertheless, Thank You for sharing this with us.
