First Snow of the Season Hits Gallatin and Greycott Causing Choas
April 8, 2024

A early season snowstorm brought the first snow of the season to the North of the country. Between 2-6 in (5-15 cm) fell during the night and early morning hours. The New Gough Island Weather Service predicted 1-3 in (2.5-7.6 cm) across the region. The storm already brought 1-2 feet (30-61 cm) of snow across the vast South with mountainous regions receiving even more. The storm was stronger than previously thought as rain switched to snow around 12 am and continued at as late as 10 am. Traffic across the north was slow going with many spinouts and sliding occurring. When the storm cleared the region, temperatures dropped to below freezing meaning any slush and snow will freeze up. The storm brought power outages in some areas. Many school districts had late start times as a result of the unexpected heavier snow. The coldest air of the season this far will keep temperatures below or at freezing during the daytime hours for the next few days before a rebound back to average. More light snow is in the forecast amid the cold air.
