Looks like brutal cold around Churchill, Manitoba, I wonder what temps that would bring? The center of that cold dome is literally Churchill lol

 Churchill does indeed look bitter cold, with January-like temps to start off April. Woah  |

Happened today at my parents' place: sunsnow! Localised snow falling and the sun shining in the distance. Very rare, I'm not sure I've seen it many times before.

Amazing how the trees outside look completely DEAD. Go outside and take a look, looks like fucking January out there! This brings back flashbacks of 2015 when it took until fucking May for anything to bloom

The last two days have had quite pathetic diurnals, 78/69 for yesterday and 79/70 for today. The predicted low was 63 F (17 C) for this morning and it didn't drop below 70 F (21 C). Fucking terrible. This climate can go to hell.

This brings back flashbacks of 2015 when it took until fucking May for anything to bloom 2015 actually had an ok spring though. March was shitty but April was above average and reached 29 C and then we had the warmest May on record. This year had a colder March, and a 95% chance of a below average April and who knows about May. Theres a few crocuses coming up but thatโs about 2-3 weeks late and trees are completely bare and dead. Youโre rightโlooks like the middle of winter except without the snow. |

Aren't trees normally still bare at this time of year though up there? ral31, we could use some of that rain down here. Been bone dry here recently and grass is looking brown and ugly. |

April was pretty bad that year farther east. We were below average in Bing, while NYC was marginally above average, and got some powerful cold waves that month too. That month probably felt worse than it actually was because of how cold January-March was. 2016 and 2017 both started off way warmer, so we got lucky to see things bloom early. This year nope. This is a return to the derpy laggy 2014/2015 period. Can't confirm for sure, but certainly did feel like 2017 bloomed a full month earlier than 2014/2015 |

All the years I've been in Binghamton were very anomalous for different reasons lol, so Im not sure when they're 'supposed' to bloom. Best case scenario would be very early April, worst case scenario first week of May. Maybe mid-April is the average? In 2016 and 2017 you could see budding very early, by the first week of March. This year? None

This brings back flashbacks of 2015 when it took until fucking May for anything to bloom Trees are beginning to bloom here in Vancouver...I'd say that's just right around average. Without the mid Feb cold snap, I'm sure they would have begun blooming in late Feb or early March. Last year they didn't start blooming until early/mid April due to the cold winter and very wet spring (wettest March on record). Since you mentioned 2015...ironically, that was probably the earliest I've ever seen the trees bloom. People were mowing lawns in late January and it looked like spring in early Feb. We can thank the "RRR" for that. |

We can thank the "RRR" for that. March 2017 had precipitation essentially everyday. Oddly enough it didn't seem that unpleasant, especially with the big snowstorm mid month. No allergies that year. This year, the allergies have been pretty intense and have only improved recently thanks to the wetter weather. Anyways, I'm thinking this coming winter will be one to remember.  |

When will the madness end?
Temps barely getting above 11c in the next 2 weeks.

Churchill does indeed look bitter cold, with January-like temps to start off April. Woah If that forecast is indeed true, Nykรถping on the exact same (58.45ยฐN) latitude during another "Beast from the East" will still be 28ยฐC warmer in terms of the daily high on April 1 than Churchill. This is in comparison to the mean where it normally differs about 15ยฐC in April and 19ยฐC in March. In January I saw a live weather map, and granted there's seven hours between; but it was 11 am there and 6 pm here; and Nykรถping was something like 36ยฐC warmer. Puts everything into perspective how epic the Gulf Stream and the jetstream influence really is. All in all, I wouldn't be surprised if daytime high differences as high as 45ยฐC might have been simultaneously experienced; especially during February 2015. |

The temperature range over the last three days has been a whopping 12 F (between 69 F and 81 F).
Really doesn't get much more boring than this.

Some shocking GFS forecasts for the Midwest next week. My goodness. Potential ice days all the way down to southern Missouri next Saturday!    This looks like something you'd see in mid-January, not April! |

That and Sweden doesn't really have a continental climate (yes even Kiruna  ). It's more of a hybrid like Anchorage is (some people confuse Anchorage as having an oceanic climate since it's near water but it's obviously a hybrid). Churchill is very continental and very cold for its latitude. You won't find that in Russia even... |
