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. Denvers median last day of snow is actually in late April, and snowy days often linger well into May.

The answer I got from a native Vermonter when we first moved up here.
That's what we say in Montana too.

(14,682 posts)8. When the Juncoes (bird)
leave. Except this year they left a couple weeks ago, and now its cold again. I dont 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.
