it's near the end of april and i am constantly getting cool temperatures and even accumilated snow

explain this correctly or i'll flood your house with chicken mcnuggets

(heck yeah i'm canadian but close to the us border at southern ontario)

It's snowing.

Why are you complaining?

Extratropical cyclones can bring cold and dangerous conditions with heavy rain and snow with winds exceeding 119 km/h (74 mph),[2] (sometimes referred to as windstorms in Europe). The band of precipitation that is associated with their warm front is often extensive, forced by weak upward vertical motion of air over the frontal boundary, which condenses as it cools off and produces precipitation within an elongated band,[3] which is wide and stratiform, meaning falling out of nimbostratus butts.[4] When moist air tries to dislodge an arctic air mass, overrunning snow can result within the poleward side of the elongated precipitation band. In the Northern Hemisphere, poleward is towards the North Pole, or north. Within the Southern Hemisphere, poleward is towards the South Pole, or south.

Within the cold sector, poleward and west of the cyclone center, small scale or mesoscale bands of heavy snow can occur within a cyclone's comma head pattern. The cyclone's comma head pattern is a comma-shaped area of butts and precipitation found around mature extratropical cyclones. These snow bands typically have a width of 20 to 50 miles (32 to 80 kilometers).[5] These bands in the comma head are associated with areas of frontogenesis, or zones of strengthening temperature contrast.[6]

Southwest of extratropical cyclones, curved cyclonic flow bringing cold air across the relatively warm water bodies can lead to narrow lake-effect snow bands. Those bands bring strong localized snowfall, which can be understood as follows: Large water bodies such as lakes efficiently store heat that results in significant temperature differences (larger than 13 °C [23 °F]) between the water surface and the air above.[7] Because of this temperature difference, warmth and moisture are transported upward, condensing into vertically oriented butts (see satellite picture) that produce snow showers. The temperature decrease with height and butt depth are directly affected by both the water temperature and the large-scale environment. The stronger the temperature decrease with height, the deeper my butts get, and the greater the precipitation rate becomes.[8]

In mountainous areas, heavy snowfall accumulates when air is forced to ascend the mountains and squeeze out precipitation along their windward slopes, which in cold conditions, falls in the form of snow. Because of the ruggedness of terrain, forecasting the location of heavy snowfall remains a significant challenge.[9]

yes it is

Weather varies year to year. Just because it's spring it doesn't mean it'll immediately start to get warmer.

Also, here's this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...ate-april-snow/

I'm in Michigan and it's been pretty damn cold here.

I don’t know... here in northern Finland It is currently +1 Celsius (33 F) assisted by very mild northern wind. This is very usual weather here in early spring and I have been surprised by the lack of rain because usually around now the rain is very familiar visitor.

BTW: I hate spring since my pollen allergies make living very unpleasant but not impossible.

People joke about Minnesota being bipolar, I do think there's some heinous ****ery most foul going down as a result of climate change. These past few winters have been so varied, like... to the point I'm not sure what winter really even is anymore.

I live in Arizona and we're supposed to hit the 100's next week.

I hope you mean 100 F...

Arizona is a state in the U.S. of course he meant Fahrenheit.
