So much for spring.

The first snowstorm of the spring could roll through the mid-atlantic and northeastern region of the United States this week. Forecasters are saying that the storm's path and severity is yet to be determined.

Up to a half a foot of snow is expected in New York City, but forecasters also warned that the Big Apple could still get as little as a dusting since the projected path of the storm is still not all that clear. Other major cities, such as Washington, D.C. and Boston, are also expected to be affected by the storm, which will be originating in the Midwest before pushing through to the northeast.

The snow likely will not go further south than Washington, D.C., and it will instead consist of a wintry mix or rain. Although the location and direction of the storm is still uncertain, weather.com has indicated that the storm will bring about cooler than average temperatures. According to The Weather Channel's site, we can expect temperatures to be 10-20 degrees below average from the Rockies all the way to the East coast.

Most areas of the northeast have seen much nicer temperatures since the start of the season but we can't expect it to last when we are still so early in the season. It is all too common to see warmer days followed by cooler days until we inch closer to the summer.

What do you think about the potential for a snowstorm at this point in the year? Is it surprising to you or is this just what to expect in late March as we prepare to head into the month of April? Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments section located down below.
