While this post is not saying that it'll happen this year (though there is a good chance over the next week or so), this post will show that it's not unusual.
So, a listing of April snows of moderate or greater significance of the last decade or so
April 23, 2012: 4.8 cms of snow (even after the scorcher of a March)
April 27, 2010: 4.2 cms of snow
April 6/7, 2009: 4.5 cms of snow
April 4, 2008: 5.8 cms of snow
April 7/8, 2007: 4.0 cms of snow
April 12, 2007: 5.8 cms of snow
April 15/16, 2007: 17.0 cms of snow
April 4/5, 2004: 9.6 cms of snow
April 5, 2003: 14.0 cms of snow
April 23, 2003: 8.4 cms of snow
April 28/29, 2002: 17.0 cms of snow.
Just as an aside, I don't see any trend in terms of the frequency or amount of April snowfalls in Ottawa data going back 40 years...
