Good grief, at a quarter to six in the morning on April 21st I woke up to 2" of snow outside. This 800 feet above sea level, not above the tree line!

We here in southern NH had 3" Friday...
In Augusta, GA, we haven't had snow in 4 years.
EDIT: I remember one early May in the early 1960s, that I shoveled 6" snow out of 4 driveways in Eau Claire, WI on a Saturday morning so my 'customers' could go to the grocery store.

That’s why I like Mother’s Day. Not usually much snow after Mother’s Day.
Keep it in Ohio..... it's spreading east.
Got to admit this "onion snow" is pretty!

21 degrees and an inch of snow here. Normal April in Montana. Right here it has never got below freezing or snowed in July or August
1.8" in n Louisville, new record for the date. Temp got down to 35 but it's 45 now and sun is bright.
Got about 3" on the picnic table, driveway is just wet as, evidently, it had enough latent warmth to keep melting it. A wet heavy snow as much drooping by shrubbery and tree branches.

It's been cold enough the past 3 mornings for snow, the the 20's, but so far it has stayed south of me. Got close last night, 20 miles away.

We got about five inches of the white stuff, just SE of Cleveland. Mother Nature is a psychotic. Oh well it will be gone in a day or two.

This is what we woke up to Monday morning. After 42 years living up here I'm pretty used to snow in April, some of our heaviest and wet snows are in April. We've had an influx of flatlanders move up here in the last few years, I'm hoping the long winters will change some of their minds about living up here. I can hope!

Talked to a friend in Meadville, Pa. and it has spread from Ohio to Pa. He said the ground is covered. He is pretty peeved as he had mowed his grass on Monday!
OP
I'm pretty much a "flatlander" myself, but I understand about people escaping one environment to go live in the "Beauty of nature". Then turning that nature into the very hell they escaped from. The first thing city people do when moving to the country is install all night security lights that wash away the very stars they came to see!

I understand what you are saying. My family has lived here in the state of Florida for a bit over 200 years. The change that I have seen just amaze me. The folks moving from up north to here and then trying to turn it into where they came from just boggles your mind! I need the t-shirt that says "Don't New York Florida!".

We've had at least 3 weeks where one day the temp was 50-60+ degrees only to be followed by 2" of snow the next day. It can rain or snow depending on the overnight temps.
I believe April is our 2nd snowiest month.

Northeast tonight cold front and snow?
Two weeks ago the local weather guys said it’s ok to plant the garden. I didn’t yet. I want to get my corn in soon. Probably by the holiday.
Just fixed the brakes on the plow.

Down here in South Mississippi we might see a measurable snowfall once or twice in ten years. We had none this year even though Spring has been a little late and we did have a pretty good late freeze. Last year I first mowed my grass a couple of days before Valentines Day. This year I first mowed the second week of March. Years ago my Dad had planted his garden when we got 3" of snow on April 17 and had to replant. A couple of days later it was in the 80's. In other words, we never know. One thing we do know and that it is tornado season, soon to be followed by hurricane season. Severe storms predicted for tonight. My air conditioning just went out. The tech just left to go buy parts. That'll be $1,000.00 please.
OP
You just brought up how much worse than 2" of snow things can get!
Around here, AC season starts around May. I worked on them since 1974 and can tell you, Normally by June 15 parts are hard to come by, This year I'm betting it will be much worse!
Hurricanes in Ohio, are far and few between! But Tornados we are too knowledgeable about!

Same here;
thought Spring was here but the news states that we might get snow in three to four days.
So much for the new car wash job.
Just when I thought that I was in the clear.
Bummer.

I wish you were here. I had to replace everything A/C in 2014. A few days ago the air went out. The tech came out today and told me the coil on the inside air was leaking and even after a ten year warranty on parts it was probably still going to cost me around a grand for labor and coolant. Does that sound right? He says he can fix it in about an hour. It seems a little high to me. I know very little about A/C stuff.
OP
With the new R-400 series refrigerants, the systems run at much higher pressures than the old R-22 systems! A leak like you describe is why I stay with the older equipment as long as I could get parts!
I assume the charges are in line for your area, but everything I see on what people charge seems excessive to me!
