Parts of New York and New Jersey are experiencing unexpected snowfall in April, more than two weeks into spring. While most of the snow has been in the northwest of New York City, there is a chance that the city could also see some snow. Several areas have already recorded inches of snow, which is unusual for this time of year. This unexpected snowfall brings back memories of a notable spring storm in 2018 when the Yankees had to postpone their home opener due to heavy snowfall in New York City.
The forecast looked like an April Fools' Day joke, but parts of New York and New Jersey are dealing with snow Thursday, more than two weeks into spring. Most of the snow has been northwest of New York City so far, but more is on the way and there's still a chance the city could get in on the rare spring snowfall. In Sullivan County, New York , Yulan recorded 2.3 inches of snow and Barryville recorded 1.5 inches.
Highland Lakes, New Jersey, which is about 50 miles northwest of the city, also recorded 2.3 inches of snow. In Orange County, New York, Warwick got 1.5 inches of snow. Staatsburg in Dutchess County got half an inch. While not a blizzard, more than half an inch of snow in the Tri-State Area this time of year is noteworthy. We typically don't get more than 0.4 inches of snow in April. One of our more notable spring storms was on April 2, 2018, when the Yankees were forced to postpone their home opener because 5.5 inches of snow fell in New York Cit
