Spring Snowstorm

A snowstorm will set its sights on the Interstate-95 and I-81 corridors of the Northeast on Friday, the first day of spring.

Astronomical spring officially arrives on Friday, March 20, at 6:45 p.m. EDT, but millions in the Northeast will be slipping, shoveling or facing other problems due to snow.

The storm threatens to slow travel and cause disruptions to daily activities from northern Virginia to central Massachusetts, home to approximately 45 million people, as the week draws to a close and the first weekend of spring begins.

While much of the snow will melt on major roads and in urban areas during the middle of the day, slippery and slushy conditions are in store where the snow begins late at night, falls during the early morning or continues into the evening.
