Confused about what season AND month we are in across the Northeast? You are not alone as some spots picked up as little as a dusting of snow to a foot in other areas!

The snow was dumping in Ira, New York Saturday! This town sits near Lake Ontario, which boosted some of the snowfall intensity earlier today. Video courtesy Instagram user BenGAllen. #NYwx pic.twitter.com/aVSRcsohSd

The storm system brought the heaviest snow accumulation to New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

For some locations, this May snowfall is the latest we’ve seen in the season including Central Park in New York City.

Many places that received snow will now have to settle with record-cold temperatures on Sunday morning.

Stay with WeatherNation for the latest on snow totals and updates to the Mother’s Day Weekend forecast, and have a safe and happy weekend!
