WESTFORD, MA — If you've looked out your window this morning, you might notice the rain has turned to snow. According to the National Weather Service it will likely switch back to rain at some point. And as shocking as this may seem for those of us who were ready — or already did — break out the shorts and tank tops, this isn't so unusual for our area. Last April 18, the temps dipped down to the 40s and 30s after a week in the 60s and blanked the tulips and daffodils in a half an inch of snow. The National Weather Service said way back in 2007, there was a storm that brought some pretty heavy rain that wreaked havoc in the area. #OTD in Weather History: April 16-18, 2007. The "Patriot's Day Storm" brought damaging winds, coastal flooding, and river flooding from heavy rain. pic.twitter.com/RC1ePMyFML— NWS Boston (@NWSBoston) April 16, 2021 What The National Weather Service says about the rest of today: Rain and snow.
