Rare April snowfall, record cold engulf central U.S. while sweeping east.
Old Man Winter delivered an icy kiss to much of the Lower 48, breaking records and delivering rare snowfall so deep into spring.
'It’s not often you can make snow angels in late April.
A frosty last gasp of winter swallowed much of the central United States on Tuesday into Wednesday, delivering snow all the way down to the Mid-South and sending temperatures plummeting below freezing at a time of year when shorts and sandals usually begin making an appearance.
Scores of records lows were set throughout the heartland on Wednesday.
At least 80 million Americans were under frost or freeze alerts from the National Weather Service, with temperatures some 25 degrees below normal in spots bringing the feel of late February or early March.
On Wednesday morning, snow had pulled into New England after plastering a swath from the Rockies to the Northeast. Some locations in the Midwest and Tennessee Valley saw their biggest snow on record so late in the season Tuesday and Tuesday night.'>>>
