An unusual May nor’easter soaked New England on Thursday and threatened to bring snow to higher elevations as the states prepared for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

A large scale, slow moving upper-level low pressure system continues to rotate across northern New England.  This is producing showers and very cool temperatures for the start of the holiday weekend across Western New York.

While a nor'easter delivered windswept rains to southern New England, two famous mountains to the north saw snowfall from the late-season storm.

Nor’easter is about to impact New England ahead of Memorial Day weekend, bringing three inches of rain and up to 50 mph winds.

It might be spring, but on Mount Washington, New England’s highest peak, wintry weather has returned. Located in New Hampshire, Mount Washington stands tall at 6,288 feet and is no stranger to intense meteorological conditions like gusty winds and rime ice.

A slow-moving system means rain could force those planning outdoor activities in the central and southern U.S. this holiday weekend to come up with a Plan B on one or more days.

An unusual May nor’easter is set to wallop New England and provide a soaking before the Memorial Day holiday weekend with weather more commonly associated with fall and winter.
