Yes, any given day could be a record-breaking low or high, but over the past two weeks, we have not been reaching even average highs, which means it is colder than normal.

Do you mean average temperatures? Because that, as your buddy Cliff Mass likes to point out, is just an average. Eg, you get a 40 degree day one year and a 60 degree day one year, and your average is 50. So what's normal then? What is “the norm for April?” Do you mean average temperatures?

As for your reference link, pointing to mid-April snow *in the passes* is not the same thing as lowland snow. Is a little lowland snow now *highly* unusual? Probably not. Should your head explode because people talk about it? Probably not.
