 A quick-moving spring snow maker brought several inches of snow to parts of the Midwest and Appalachians on Friday and now it's hitting the Northeast Saturday morning. Locally, more than a foot of snow in southern Iowa Friday. Parts of southern Michigan and the Pennsylvania Appalachians received 6 inches of snow from this system on Friday afternoon.

Radar is showing that snow is falling in parts of the New York Hudson Valley and into parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts Saturday morning. Social media pictures confirm that snow is accumulating in these areas, mainly on the grassy surfaces.

This storm is moving quickly and will be clearing the Northeast later Saturday morning. The snow the fell will melt rather quickly due to the strong spring sun angle, and above freezing temperatures.
