Is MA Done With Snow As Season Changes? Not So Fast

MASSACHUSETTS — We changed the clocks to daylight saving time and we officially saw spring begin Sunday. But it might not be time yet to put the shovel away just yet in Massachusetts.

Meteorologists at AccuWeather.com said that two-thirds of the United States could still see some snow in the forecast.

"A few more storms will track from the Northwest to the southern Rockies then cutting across the Plains and the Ohio Valley through early April," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Paul Pastelok.

He said the active storm track — combined with additional waves of cold air from the north — could mean snow after spring's official start for Boston, Worcester and some other Massachusetts communities.

Of course, to have snow, you need cold temperatures and precipitation.

The National Weather Service issued its April-May-June 2022 seasonal outlook that calls for above-normal total precipitation for the mid-Atlantic and Northeast as well as above-normal temperatures.

If that sounds encouraging, then let's check with the Farmer's Almanac which has issued its own spring forecast for the United States.

In Massachusetts, the weather conditions for March 20 to March 24 will be warm with showers. The final week of March will turn cooler with rainy periods.

Showers with rain and a few thunderstorms, with high temperatures averaging 57 degrees, are features of April for the region.
