Not uncommon to see snow around Thanksgiving here in western Massachusetts

Today was a cool and mostly cloudy November day. And it even felt a lot like winter. >> Kind of looked like winter, too, with the gray skies and no leaves on the trees. No snow, though. 22 News Storm Team meteorologist Adam Shco is working for you with how it isn't that unusual for us to see some snow this time of year. >> Well, Nick and Sierra, that's right. On average, we get our first inch of snowfall here in the Springfield area on November 23rd. It's been a fairly cool November with temperatures only in the 40s recently. And even though we haven't really seen any accumulating snow here in the Springfield area, it isn't that unusual for us to get snow this time of year. In 2018, we had an early season snowstorm on November 15th. That storm dumped over 7 ines of snow across western Massachusetts. We also had snowstorms on or around Thanksgiving Day. 11 years ago back in 2014, heavy wet snow fell on the day before Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel days of the year. And on Thanksgiving Day in 1989, a snowstorm dumped around 6 ines of snow across western Massachusetts. The current snow depth map shows that right now there is just a little bit of snow on the ground in far northwestern parts of the state, but there is quite a bit of snow on the ground right now in northern New England, especially in Vermont. Now, on average, we pick up about two and a half inches of snow during the month of November in the Springfield area. working for you. I'm 22 News Storm Team meteorologist Adam Stremco.
