The calendar might say it’s May, but it feels more like March outside.
Some Massachusetts residents woke up to a light coating of snow Saturday morning.
Snow also fell in New York City’s Central Park, marking the latest snowfall since 1977, the National Weather Serivce said.
Massachusetts could see near-record low temperatures.
“An unseasonably cold air mass will overspread the area today, leading to strong northwest winds and scattered showers,” forecasters said.
Less than an inch of snow was expected in the Boston, Worcester, and Springfield areas, while northern and western parts of the state could see up to 2 inches.
