Has April ever been colder than March in Chicago?

Dear Tom,
When was the city's coldest April? Has April ever been colder than March?
Anna P., Wilmette
Dear Anna,
At a time of year when Chicago's average temperatures are undergoing their
fastest increase, it would be rare to have an April colder than March, and
the city's temperature archives bear that out. Dating back to 1871 there has
been only one such occurrence, and that was more than a century ago in 1907.
In that year March, buoyed by nine days of 60 degrees or higher including
five 70s and even one 80, averaged 42.6 degrees; while April, chilled by 10
days in the 30s only two 60s and just one 70, averaged only 39.8 degrees --
making it the second coldest April in history. The city's coldest April
logged way back in 1884 averaged a chilly 38.8 degrees, but that year March
logged 36.4 degrees.
