After having temperatures in the low 70's on Wednesday we had rain and temps in the 40's on Thursday and then snow overnight into today with temps Friday not making it out of the 30's...New England in April can be a funny place. At dawn we had about an inch of snow and by the end of the day we had between 4-5 inches of heavy, wet snow. Areas nearby with a little more elevation had accumulations around a foot with areas a little lower ended up with a dusting at best. I had to work for most of the day but did make a couple quick stops on my way in and had a very appropriate Snow Goose in Hadley on a very snowy morning. Not too happy to see more snow but Wilson certainly enjoyed it. Immediately following the storm a rare for spring Snowy Egret showed up in Hadley and was seen by many birders. Snowy Egret is a fairly unusual species in spring in the area with the last record in Hampshire County being back in 2017 in early May. Certainly a very snowy theme for mid month...sadly no Snowy Owl to add to the list.
