A spring snowstorm hit Long Island.

March 21, 2016 - After the last few weeks of winter warmed up Long Island, not many were expecting to have to deal with another snowstorm on the first day of spring. That’s exactly what the Island got, however, as a wintry storm dropped a few inches of snow over much of the region late Sunday night into early Monday morning.

In Nassau County, Woodbury received over 3 inches of snow, and in Suffolk, Southampton topped the list with 3.5 inches. Though it certainly wasn’t the heaviest snow of the season, many schools did have delayed openings following the storm.

Nearby in Manhattan, Central Park received only trace levels of snowfal; in Queens totals averaged around an inch.
