Why are we seeing snowstorms followed by mid winter cold in April? Thank or blame the huge stratospheric warming back in late March.

The system pushing from Ohio to New Jersey will open the door to a February strength air mass tonight which could break all-time April cold records from Ontario to West Virginia.

A sign of things to come over the Northeast tonight?
An impressive -12 recorded in Minnesota’s Arrowhead region this morning.
