This spring has been especially frustrating for those itching to leave Ol' Man Winter behind.
First, March was the coldest in 11 years for the Lower 48 States. In some locations, March was actually colder than January!
Then the first roughly three weeks of April were frustratingly cold in the nation's heartland, particularly in the northern Plains.
Several coldest/latest records were set from the "Nation's Icebox" (Int'l Falls, Minn.) to the Deep South. Not to mention a parade of late-season snowstorms from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest.
