Truly bizarre Easter all I can say. I wouldn't be surprised if sleet fell last night.

The power of this artic oubtreak is amazing,,,Heck if this summer turns out to be a cold one over much of the US. Then it keeps it up for the next 5 years, I can see ice age talk again just like the 70s. Global warming by backside. :roll:

Coldest April in 57 Years

Coldest April Easter in 57 years

Better grab your insulated bonnets; we're in for the coldest Easter Sunday in years.

That didn't stop a group of early Easter egg hunters in Anoka this afternoon. They bundled up for the holiday tradition, despite the cold.

"That's Minnesota for you. But we still have our Easter spirit," said Sarah Oftelie.

Easter Sunday's high temperature will struggle to make 40 degrees, barely higher than Christmas day. In fact, we haven't seen April temperatures like this in almost 60 years.

Other parts of the country are freezing, too. Friday's Twins game is canceled in Chicago, and Atlanta could see its coldest Easter Sunday in 120 years.

It got down to 25* at my house this morning. A solid 9 to 10 hours below freezing. Got to be record.

We had snow! Snow on Easter! It was a small amount and we couldn't exactly go out and make a snow rabbit or even snow "Peeps," but it was snow. The kids loved it! As we were driving back home from Easter morning Mass, we noticed that each house had a little line of snow in the corners, where the heat from the house had not melted it yet. We drove around for a few minutes playing "spot the snow!"
Here's the official word from our NWS office:
"7 AM (11) Apr 08 39.0 (3.9) 26.1 (-3.3) 30.26 (1024) Calm light snow, ice pellets"
And here's the link to the page from which that info came:

Happy White Easter, y'all!
