Is it February or April?

 I woke up to between  4 and 5 inches of snow. Snow is still falling but it's much lighter than it was earlier this morning.

We have a cold front moving across the region with high pressure centered  over Lake Michigan. This is causing snow showers that are also lake enhanced over New York tate As well as some snow up over northern New England, with some mix and rain showers over southern New England. 

With the snow,  blustery winds and very chilly conditions. We have to ask, Is this February or April?

The infrared satellite image shows only clear skiez over the Midwest and Great Lakes

Those warmer temperatures out ahead of that cold front are going to be falling during the day As the cold front continues to drift east. The snow and rain Is going to be lessening and we're gonna be drying up as we get later into the afternoon. With many of us seen more in the way of. sun. Is the high pressure To our west Drifts in and sits overhead.  Winds are going to become much lighter. This and clear skies tonight into tomorrow morning is going make it very cold for this time of year.

Tomorrow later in the day High pressure is going to start to drift to the east Ahead of another approaching frontal system. Winds will start to become a little bit more southerly allowing our temperatures to warm up a bit. We should be dry during the day tomorrow across the region. The high pressure is going to move off the coast Wednesday night into Thursday morning.  This will allow The cold front up over the Great Lakes to slowly start approaching the region. Temperatures are going to continue to warm on Thursday. Thursday will also feature winds becoming gusty. There could be some rain across western parts of the region later Thursday late Thursday afternoon into the evening. As the cold front gets closer These rain showers and a chance for a few higher elevation snow showers will become more widespread Thursday night into Friday. The actual cold front Friday night and during Saturday.  During the day friday and Saturday showers will be scattered but it won't be a washout. The region will turn briefly cooler but dry behind a cold front, As high pressure sets up once again for later Saturday and Sunday. And then temperatures will try to rebound again for the first part of next week. Monday Monday later in the afternoon we are going to have a trough with a cold front approaching the region. This will bring rain showers and the chance for high elevation snow showers across the region later in the day on Monday into Tuesday. Then high pressure will move back in for later Tuesday into Wednesday. I warned you about these wild swings in temperature. This looks to continue for the foreseeable future.
