Vernal Equinox (Spring) on Saturday, Snow on Friday

  Vernal Equinox (Spring) on Saturday, Snow on Friday


Spring 2021 will arrive at 5:37 a.m. Saturday, March 20, which is squarely in the middle of the range of days on which it can fall, March 19, 20 or 21. The first day of spring is also known as the vernal equinox. ... That's also why our calendar adds an extra day every 4 years, giving us our leap years If you mark the end of winter with our final snowfall, history would tell us that we need to wait a bit longer. The average final snowfall in Boston comes around March 29, however 5 of the last 7 Aprils in Boston have had some accumulating snowfall. And then of course there was that freak snow last May 9 – only a trace in Boston but nearly an inch in Worcester!


Clearly it ain’t over ‘till it’s over in New England. And I am here to tell you, it ain’t quite over. https://boston.cbslocal.com/2021/03/17/boston-weather-forecast-how-much-snow-friday-massachusetts/
