April Snowstorm

We had a late season snowstorm here in southern New England this weekend, with some heavy, wet snow falling. This one was very elevation and geograpically-dependent, with some areas seeing over a half a foot, while nearby areas barely saw a coating. My house saw some flakes throughout the morning, and this was the most exciting photo of the storm I could take.

Here's a map of the snowfall throughout New England.  Clearly, northwest areas in Connecticut were favored in this storm.

The snow won't last long (if it's still around even), as the high sun angle this time of year will melt the snow quickly and it was already a wet snow to begin with. Additionally, tomorrow will feel more spring-like as temperatures approach 60 and skies will be sunny. Tomorrow will be a great day to get outside!

I'll look into some climate data in tomorrow's post to see how abnormal a snowstorm this time of year is in the northeast.
