Late Season Snow

We're closely watching a storm expected to track to our south this weekend. Depending on it's exact path, it could bring accumulating snow to our area.

Spring may be less than a week away, but snow late in the season is certainly not unheard of. How can we forget the "April Fools" blizzard of 1997 when more than two feet of snow fell in Boston? The city has received measurable snow as late as May. On May 9th and 10th in 1977, Boston recorded a half inch of snow.

We'll have to wait and see if early Spring actually brings spring-like weather. In the meantime, it looks like Winter is holding tight to New England.
