While mid-April is by no means a pleasant time to have snow, we still have a long way to go before breaking any records for late-season snowfall. 

The latest snowfall on record? That would be May 28, 1947, when the city received 0.8 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls.

The latest "significant" snowfall -- one measuring 2 inches or more -- was May 9, 1945, when Sioux City received 4 inches. 

Here's hoping those records stick around for at least another year.

We had a 6 inch snow storm on May 10th 1990 in Milwaukee area.  Schools delayed as the plows were taken off city vehicles by then. Lots of tree damage.  I remember that vividly.

Looks like Cincy is finally getting Spring.  The ATL has had it for weeks of course.  Headed down Friday.

It will be interesting how the wife really adjusts to ATL summers.  We do have a pool right downstairs, which is nice.  She claims to like the heat but has never lived anywhere with this kind of heat, though Cincy can be bad.

A LOT of folks around Paris have no AC at all.  When they get a heat wave it gets critical in a hurry, and they get heat waves.

Yeah, I think you were attempting to quote my post saying Phoenix is unbearable.

I've been in Phoenix and Vegas in the summer. It's not just me as a native Midwesterner talking about how I *think* it would feel. I've done it. It's brutal. I feel like I'm in a furnace when I walk out the door. When it's windy, that's just a convection oven. It's not a breeze coming at you, it's a blowtorch.

Now I agree that it's more pleasant than 90 degrees with 90% RH in the Midwest. Especially since that Midwestern world is full of moisture and therefore mosquitoes. And that in the Midwest, due to the specific heat of water carrying that heat, you get *no* real advantage to the shade. It's just as hot and muggy in the shade.

But "it's a dry heat" only goes so far. When you start hitting 110+ degrees, it don't matter what kind of heat it is. It just sucks.
The air in my oven is a dry heat, but I won't climb into it.

I remember a few years back, the Memorial Golf tournament that is usually player around Memorial Day in Columbus, they had 1-2" of snow on the course on the day before the tournament started (Wednesday). It had melted off early in the day, but it had the tournament officials nervous.

Idaho has the oven full of hair dryers summers, plus they get an insane amount of snow in the winter. 
Then there's Salt Lake, which has Idaho weather, only with high humidity piled on top of it.

Never been to Salt Lake

would not have guessed Salt Lake to be humid

Just went to the Grand Tetons last summer, flying in and out of SL, UT. 

After a week in the Tetons, temps in the 110s with high humidity was really something else.

So you got to go back when people fed the bears from their car. 

Nice.

Now, Idaho is one of the few states I've never been to, but I highly doubt it's anything like Vegas or Phoenix.
I know a lot of those areas of the inland northwest get hot. But when they say hot, they mean a few weeks in August when the highest daily temps are slightly topping 100. They don't mean two months of 110+.
