Brrr! Get ready for a snowy start to spring in parts of Mass. Winter is making a last-minute appearance on the first day of spring.

The first day of spring is usually associated with blooming flowers and warmer temperatures, but this year, Mother Nature has a surprise in store for Massachusetts and northern New England. Despite a mostly mild winter, snow is predicted to fall, bringing a winter wonderland to some regions. As we bid farewell to the cold season, a sudden frosty blast serves as a reminder that winter is not quite ready to say goodbye.

As the week kicks off, temperatures are plummeting, with the cold snap lingering until the official start of spring. While many are yearning for sunshine and warmth, nature has a different plan, teasing residents with a taste of winter before transitioning into the new season. The equinox heralds the arrival of spring on Tuesday, March 19th, at 11:06 p.m. EDT, marking the celestial shift from winter to spring.

Despite the chilly forecast, the spirit of spring will prevail even amidst the snowy scenes. Tuesday morning may see a flurry, but the rest of the day promises dry and cloudy conditions with temperatures hovering in the low 40s. The workweek outlook paints a wintry picture with cold winds and the possibility of accumulating snow lingering into the weekend.

In conclusion, as we embrace the official start of spring, it seems that winter's grip is not ready to release just yet. The transition from winter to spring embodies the unpredictability of nature, showcasing its ability to surprise and delight us with unexpected weather patterns. It's a reminder that Mother Nature follows her own timetable, regardless of our expectations and desires.
