What April feels like
April is breakup, the season nobody puts on a postcard, when the snow goes to slush and every parking lot turns to gravel and meltwater. Trails are a mess and the trees haven't leafed out, but the birds come back through Potter Marsh and the town starts unfolding.
Winter is doing its thing: 4.0 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 19 nights dip below freezing.
