Winter Storm Xyler will spread snow to the southern Great Lakes Saturday. Some areas will also see snow into next week.Below-average temperatures are expected from the Rockies into the Great Lakes region.
It may be late April, but Winter Storm Xyler will make you forget that it is spring in the Midwest this weekend as it is expected to bring some unusually heavy late season snowfall.
Snow, yes, that white stuff that we'd all rather forget about this time of the year, is on the way from the Dakotas to upstate New York. In some areas this could be one of the heaviest snowfalls so late in the season.

This is all due to global warming, you know. /s/
If they’re now naming storms of all stripes, can I still call the weather, ‘Indian Summer’ when we get one more shot of warm weather in October or November?
Probably not. ;)
Fun weather map. You can see ‘Xyler’ quite clearly!

Until the Cleveland Indians are forced to change their name, I think you're good.
In other news, Cyclone ‘Kenneth’ is currently making unwanted advances on Tanzania!
*GASP* ;)
So why are we naming these storms now? Do midwesterners feel left out by the long traditional naming of Hurricanes? Can we start naming Tornadoes now? Nor’easters and nor’westers? Cold fronts? Summer days?
LOL! Cleveland Rocks! ;)
It’s just weather.
Last year the same thing happened the same last weekend of April (for us in NYS at least).
It was snowing on the last Sunday of April, the 29th, and by Tues, May 1 it was in the 80’s and sunny, broke a record.
No such lick this year, as the forecast is for overcast and highs in the 50’s and lows in the 40’s, but no more snow is forecast, thankfully.
We need two large, well insulated pipelines running between ND and AZ. :o)
Yep, a friend sent me a video from La Grange a few minutes ago. Snow is falling.
Because there’s never been snow in April before...
No, that’s now known as Indigenous Summer...
not to be confused with globular warming.
What the heck is a xyler?
Job justification?
Propaganda to generate “info” to support bogus claims of “more storms than ever” due to “AGW”?
Had to put the heat back on the regular program today, at least for the next couple of days.
This naming trend started a few years back, I think when they [meteorologists] missed that unnamed storm that hit NJ.
So, they used that as a justification for reviewing the past year looking for “storms” that they missed.
At the time, I said that they were upgrading passing waterspouts to cat 5 hurricanes in a delusional frenzy of AGW-claiming.
Oh, great, now I’ve got that ZZ Top song running through my head.

LOLOL!!
Sorry.
Ever.
What “they” named the xylerphone musical instrument after?
