Weather Wise | How do spring snow totals compare to winter snow totals?

You may not like it, but in northwest Ohio we have snow during the spring. Meteorologist Diane Phillips breaks down our spring snow averages.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Can you think of a time in April when it snowed? 

You probably could, it is not uncommon in northwest Ohio.

Even this weekend we have spring snow in the forecast! 

So, let's look into how spring snow averages compare to the snow we picked up this winter.

Snow in March and April cannot be ruled out in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Looking back at years of data, the Toledo Express Airport averages 6.6" of snow for March and April combined. Some years had more snow, while others had less.  

When comparing winter snow data to spring snow, there is a big difference. 

Another factor to remember about spring snow is that it does not stick around long. The warming temperatures and stronger sun angle cause the snow to melt faster.
