MDT's April 21st record low of 30, set in 1956, is in play.  I certainly think a number of unofficial stations will easily get into the 20s, question is whether the "river station" can.  I have my doubts.

Left cabin yesterday w/ snow/sleet combo, and had a few slushbombs hitting windshield on way to office this morning.  Not sure were done w/ flakes flyin up north, but it was a fitting end to my trackin for the year.  Cave's a callin, but I'll stop in once in a while.

A Freeze Warning is in effect tonight through 9am tomorrow morning. Be sure to protect any tender plants by late tonight. In my 22 years here the average date of my last freeze has been April 10th. Valley locations across the area have averaged later last freeze dates. High temperatures today will be almost 20 degrees below normal temperatures in the 40's. We start a warming trend through the rest of the work week before chilling down and turning wet for the weekend.
