Late April Snow Stuns Regions With Unseasonable Chill
A rare April snowstorm hit the Mississippi Valley drifting through Missouri and Illinois with up to seven inches in places. Weather officials cite a clash of a cold east wind with a predisposed south west rain system as the cause. The event cooled temps to 30 degrees and delayed spring growth while forecasts of warmer weather soon followed.
