The problem is that this is in April, all the previous rains were in June/July/August/September (read: summertime @ northern arctic zone)
Now only 2001 and 2010 have seen rain in April and May, so yes, it's a signal things are changing the last decades. It's getting warmer earlier in the year and that brings rain instead of snow.
