AVERAGE AND TOTAL are APRIL 2018.
Temperature is °F
Precipitation measurement is "inches"
Precipitation "T" = trace, precipitation was observed but not enough to be measured
NORMAL (Norm) refers to the 1981-2010 Standard Normals
DEPARTURE is APRIL 2018 Average measured against 1981-2010 normals, °F.
Max = Observed Maximum and Min = Observed Minimum temperatures in °F.
Mean = Observed Mean Daily temperature in °F.
Dep = Departure from normal ( __ = below normal, + above normal), in °F.
Pcpn = Observed daily precipitation (midnight to midnight, CST) in inches.
Rec Pcpn = Record daily amount of precipitation in inches.
Rec Max = Record maximum temperature in °F.
Rec Min = Record Minimum temperature in °F.
HDD = heating degree day units (base of 65 degrees) in °F.
CDD = cooling degree day units (base of 65 degrees) in °F.
Norm Max = Daily Normal High Temperature (1981-2010 normals) in °F.
Norm Min = Daily Normal Low Temperature (1981-2010 normals) in °F.
Norm Mean = Daily Normal Mean Temperature (1981-2010 normals) in °F.
Snow = Snowfall in inches.

From the record books:
Warmest recorded APRIL temperature, 97°F, April 26, 1989; April 28, 1910.
Coldest recorded APRIL temperature, 3°F, April 3, 1975.

SNOWFALL: 119 Years (1900 - 2018)
Most APRIL Snowfall: 11.1 inches, 1997.
In the last 119 years, 1900 - 2018, April had measurable snowfall 55 times (46% of the years)
In the last 119 years, 1900 - 2018, April had no measurable snowfall 64 times (54% of the years)
A Trace (T) of snowfall means snowfall was observed but not enough to measure, i.e. it is not measurable.
