Instead of shorts and t-shirts, parts of northern New England and northern New York have been shivering and shoveling snow over the Memorial Day weekend.
According to Christopher Burt of wunderground.com, snowflakes were observed at elevations as low as 750 feet from May 24-26, 2013. Accumulations were confined to elevations of 1,500 feet and higher in northern New York, northern Vermont and northern New Hampshire.
As shown in the video above, Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks of New York measured up to 34 inches of snow! Mount Mansfield, Vt. saw 13.2 inches of snow.
The heavy, wet nature of the snow caused tree damage and power outages in the region.
Since the low-pressure system responsible for this snow is exiting the region, temperatures are expected to return to levels more typical of spring as we start the new week.
