Default Today heavy snowing! - next week +20C?

All March there was no snow here (ok, I was away for one
week, so can't ay for shure then).
When Easter started we then actually got 40 cm of snow,
which went away in a forthnight.
This morning it was actually snowing again!!
Probably ten years in between snowing this late in
spring.
Mind you, in 2004 it was actually snowing the 21st of May!
That is very unusual!

The max level of snow was between 5-10 cm earlier today,
now a bit of thaw, but still a good snowcover.
Min temp today 0.7 C max 4.0 C.
The coming week is going to much warmer it seems, that
is - the first part of it. Lasr part seems cold.
Maybe we can reach 20C?, so far this year not over 15C,
so quite low max tempertures, but gererally a quite mild winter
with little snow.

Here is a couple of newspaper articles on todays snowfall:
