‘We’ve had several April snow storms’

Say it ain’t snow.

Just as the calendar flips to April after a snowless March, there’s a chance for some snow. That’s New England for you.

The National Weather Service’s Boston office is tracking the potential for a coastal storm next week, which could drop some snow across parts of Massachusetts.

The forecast is still very uncertain for next Tuesday through Thursday, but it appears that another strong low-pressure system will likely bring a multi-day precipitation event to the region.

“There’s the potential for a coastal storm with rain and wet snow,” Hayden Frank, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boston office, told the Herald on Friday.

“It looks like it will be chilly with rain and/or wet snow at times,” Frank added. “A lot of the details are uncertain at this point.”

April snow storms are definitely not unheard of for Massachusetts.

Back in 1997 on April Fools’ Day, a blizzard buried the region with more than two feet of snow.

“It doesn’t happen every year, but we’ve had several April snow storms,” Frank said. “April snow isn’t something that’s completely abnormal for us.”
