A Cool Spring in Sacramento

Sacramento temperatures this spring have been unusually low. Between January 17th and April 20th (between days 17 and 110 on this chart) - a period of about three months - average daily temperatures were usually below average. Temperatures for most of the northern hemisphere have mostly been above average this year. It's interesting how California is out of step this year. 

This cold weather, plus the unusual cleanliness of the snow, has slowed the melt of the virtual ice cap we have in the Sierras. I wonder if all the snow can melt this summer?
