Morning flakes, breezy and cold
April can be a cruel month! We had highs in the 60s last Sunday, but it has been very cool this entire week.
We're waking up to snow showers this morning in the Twin Cities. The flakes should move out of here by late morning, but they are a reminder that it is way too early to plant annuals!
Highs today will be 15 to 20 degrees below normal:
We'll also have strong winds today, giving us wind chill readings in the teens and 20s.

Highs dip a bit for Monday and Tuesday, then we'll see another warmup, starting on Wednesday:
