Cold Easter weather

Remembering that this year we experienced the coldest February in 28 years, I couldn't help but think that this Easter weekend's weather was unseasonably cold too. Turns out that it was - see Winter temperatures move in for long weekend (Toronto).

But this unusual cold was more than just a local weather event here in southern Ontario. Seems that it was a little more widespread:
