Winter is giving itself a last hurrah in some parts of the Northeast, bringing snowflakes on the first day of spring. But it's beautiful in Colorado!
Residents in some New Jersey towns, mostly along the Delaware River and as far west as Doylestown, Pa., woke up to snow on the ground. Scattered snowshowers were dusting New York City on Thursday morning, too.
Meteorologists say temperatures are above freezing, so the snow won't stick. By the time the sun came up, much of the snow was gone.
Spring will have its say in the region on Saturday, with sunny weather in the 50s.
Colorado Springs residents woke up to mild temperatures on the official first day of spring, although we've seen record-high temperatures in the past few weeks so it seems like spring has been around for some time already!
