Yes, we have had snow in May before across New England.
After last weekend's 70 to 80 degree temperatures, we were probably wishing for an early start to summer as our work-from-home guidelines are in place. But of course Mother Nature has a sense of humor on Mother's Day weekend!
We have snow accumulation reported all across New England on this Saturday. Snow totals so far:
West Arlington, VT — 8.8"
East Barre, VT — 4.8"
Berlin, NH — 4.3"
Lancaster, NH — 4.0"
Weld, ME — 2.0"
Bridgton, ME — 2.0"
Worcester, VT — 1.0"
Lexondale, MA — 0.2"
These snow totals do push the record for latest snowfall on record. Here are some dates for cities across New England:
