April in the U.S. came out colder than normal (despite what NOAA say), which has extended the nation’s stark cooling trend observed over the past five years. And now, into the second week of May, the Arctic is still refusing to abate as it delivers record low temperatures and record mid-spring snow to many states.
A fresh round of unseasonable polar chills is plunging southward as I type.

These forecast temperature anomalies are staggering.
States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas are set to suffer departures some 20C below the seasonal norm, perhaps even more in exposed spots — but the entire CONUS (excluding Florida and eastern Cali) will be hit.
The cold is expected to prove persist, too, lingering through midweek from the Rockies and Plains to the South and East.
Many states should brace for rare May freezes, with unprecedented snowfall to boot:
