Record lows, without snow

April has brought a wide range of temperatures to Minnesota this year — stretching from the 80s early in the month to record lows in some areas this week.

He talked with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about the factors behind the cold, and other topics, in their weekly weather chat.
