Hi @Jordan2 .... I live in NJ. My Dad's birthday was on March 20th. One year .... when I was a kid.. we had the worst snow storm of the year on his birthday. That has always stuck in my mind. So it can and does happen in March. LOL

I remember an Easter Sunday that was in early April, and it snowed!

In upstate NY, it's not all that unusual to get snow on MOTHER'S DAY!

Weather does not follow the calendar.

I live in upstate NY; we have had snow in May. Not often though. April is common.

Spring doesn't mean no snow, I've gotten snowed on when camping in June.

March is the month for some heavy snowfalls. I don't think of Spring until May, to be honest.

My golf club opened last week, got to golf on Friday, not since, too cold. Snow here today and tomorrow. I remember my first year here, it snowed 18" on May 2nd. But the good news was that it melted quickly! At least we're not in October looking ahead to a cold and bitter winter!

I just read this earlier today. I do not miss that at all. I lived in Buffalo and remember getting snow on Easter and Mothers Day. That is too late in my opinion. lol!

I now live in Raleigh and today it cooled down. It was 76 here as it has been in the low 80s all week.

Same story here in Mass along the coast which is where we live. This better be the last storm or I will be very angry with Mother Nature.

I understand. I live in Lower Michigan and had to go to the doctor to get a TICK off my back. I just could not beleive it. I have no idea how long it was there. Its crazy. We had a slightly warm stretch last week (50's) so I raked and yesterday I woke up to a dusting of snow.

We don’t usually have snow this late; although, it’s not unheard of. I’ve so enjoyed the early spring this year, especially after the brutal snow storms this past winter.

With the early warm temperatures, the frogs and turtles came out of hibernation a couple weeks ago. Hopefully this snow will become a distant memory very quickly so we can get back to the business of spring. I saw my first wildflowers this week.

We are supposed to get a few flakes but no accumulation Sunday morning. It's funny because people were in shorts and flip flops this past week when we had one day with a high of 78. While the force of winter may not be as strong, it's not giving up to Spring yet. Today and tomorrow our highs will be around 45.

The weather channel has named this storm: 'Regis'.
