Portions of New Hampshire woke up to a rare sight for the month of May on Tuesday, as overnight snowfall coated both yards and windshields around Concord and beyond.
Precipitation began in much of the state shortly after sunset Monday, with rain quickly turning to snow north of the Capital city as temperatures hovered around freezing.
Tom Hawley from the National Weather Service said there were reports of 2.2 inches of snow in Alstead, 2 inches of snow in Acworth and an inch of snow in Pittsburg, all in New Hampshire.
The entire Northeast is dealing with unseasonably cold weather on Tuesday, with most of the region likely to top out in the low 50s. The cold weather follows some record-setting rainfall in April in parts of New England. The sun could finally come out late in the week, though, when temperatures are likely to graze 60 degrees.
The chilly temps prompted Mount Sunapee Resort to post an updated snow report on its Instagram account, describing conditions as “grass and shrubs with a powder coating.”
“Our groomers are leaving the mountain untouched so there’s plenty for powder for you,” the post read.
Mount Sunapee closed for the season April 7.
