Winter makes an annoying comeback with late April snow

According to an analysis by FiveThirtyEight of the last day of snow in the largest 25 U.S. cities, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and Denver all have a decent shot of seeing snow in mid-to-late April. Denver’s median last day of snow is actually in late April, and snowy days often linger well into May.

leave. Except this year they left a couple weeks ago, and now it’s cold again. I don’t understand why they come in the fall and leave in spring. I would think it would be the opposite. I guess it gets to hot/humid for them here in MO.
