| Daffodils felled by snow - North Amherst, MA Photo by S. Vardatira, April 16, 2014 |
On the upside (if you don't want winter in earnest), we are only looking at 1-4 inches around here, probably more like 1-2 inches in Amherst. Most of it will fall between midnight and rush hour Monday morning, although flakes may start to fly as early as 8 pm tonight. Eastern Hampshire and Hampden counties will likely see the higher end of that range, with snowfall amounts decreasing as you head west (Eastern MA and Rhode Island will feel the brunt of this storm).
As for daffodils felled by snow, our own home-grown daffodils haven't even budded yet, so this scene seems unlikely. But it could be in our future - this photograph was taken two years ago on April 16, so don't assume tonight's event is winter's last gasp. Although, given the odd earliness of the season, it could well be.
