On Saturday, residents in parts of the Northeast awoke to a surprising snowfall as they welcomed the approaching spring season. From Albany, NY, to Maine, snow accumulation ranged from two to five inches overnight. Meteorologists indicated that while spring officially began on March 20, snow during early spring is not uncommon for the region. Local residents acknowledged this weather phenomenon, expressing mixed feelings about the timing of the snowfall amid blooming flowers and trees. Forecasts predict a drying trend as the region moves toward warmer weather next week.
Residents from Albany to Maine experienced moderate snowfall of two to five inches just as spring seems to be arriving, illustrating the region's unpredictable weather.
Meteorologists note that snowfall in early spring is common in upstate New York, with one expert stating: 'a couple inches here and there is certainly not unheard-of.'
In Maine, snowfall on Saturday was described as typical for the season, reminding residents that winter can still linger despite spring's arrival. 'This is sort of what our spring looks like,' said Michael Clair.
Jill Woodworth, a long-time Massachusetts resident, reflected: 'It feels like it's been a long ramp up to spring with the flowers and the trees,' acknowledging the surprising April snow.
