Happy Easter....still cool here but better than last year

This morning's weather photo and last Easter's weather(photo taken on Easter Eve).

Yesterday was a mix of a few flurries,some sun and cool temps that reached just a degree or two above freezing.The
evening temp was down to -6° with a few more scattered flurries.
This morning the sky is mostly clear and it is very calm with the temp at -6°.We should see a day similar to yesterday
except with less,or no,flurries.There's not much change expected in conditions until later in the week.
As the photo above shows,last Easter was quite snowy here.Easter was later last year and we had a major snowstorm that
began the day before,on April 7,and left about 30cms behind.There's more here:
