Spring brings snow to several northern states after mild winter canceled ski trips, winter festivals

After a season with very little snow, a blast of snowy weather could dump a foot or more in some northern states, just as spring officially arrives

. Parts of Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin are under winter weather advisories, with snow expected to start falling Thursday in some areas. Minnesota could see a foot of snow over the weekend, and parts of New England could also see 12 to 18 inches in the coming days. “It seems like it is supposed to be in like a lion and out like a lamb,” said Brian Hurley, a senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.

“I am sure,' he said, “they will be coming in droves to catch this last storm.” A mishmash of systems get the credit — or the blame, depending on who you ask — for this spring snowstorm. The National Weather Service said a potent storm system rapidly strengthening over eastern Maine is already producing heavy snow. Forecasters are predicating that by Saturday, parts of Maine, as well as Vermont and New Hampshire, will be coated with at least 8 inches of snow.
