Light snow begins early Tuesday morning and continues through the day.

This winter, the storm track has been very important and this storm is no different.
The Weather Service said there’s a 20 percent chance for snow on Thursday night, a 20 percent chance for rain and snow Friday night, and chances for rain at 30 percent Saturday, 40 percent Saturday night and 20 percent Sunday. This could lead to some snow or mixed precipitation Thursday morning and even cause some slick driving. This includes in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. It was enough to coat the roads and cover the grass and flower beds in a thin white blanket. Motorists should watch for a few slick spots, mainly on bridges and overpasses. Selene will be a long-track winter storm that will spread snow from the Rockies to the central Plains, Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and possibly northern New England during the first full week of spring.
“During the daytime in March, the rate of snow must be heavy to overcome the warm ground and solar effects”, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
Monday will be sunny but a cool northwest wind will keep temperatures near freezing all day. This afternoon will be breezy as the storm moves away from MA. 5 to 10 inches of snow is generally expected in these areas with lesser amounts the further North and West you go. Colder air, cloudy skies, and gusty winds increase on Wednesday on the Front Range along with a chance for snow and rain.
“It may also cling to and weigh down some tree limbs”, Sosnowski said.
Philadelphia and New York City could get 1 to 3 inches. The higher amounts will most likely be southeast of Boston and Providence. This is where the forecast becomes hard because of the timing of the transition from rain to snow.

While it’s officially spring, winter put its final (most hope) exclamation point on the season Monday with the region’s first significant snowfall in more than six weeks on.
