The calendar may say spring, but
it certianly doesn't feel like
it.
MORE snow fell overnight, and
these freezing temperatures are
sticking around
this weekend. 27 First News
reporter Tyler Trill asked an
expert if we're experencing a
shift in seasons...
He's got that story tonight.
It's been over two weeks since
the technical first day of
spring, and Mother
Nature has not seemed to have
gotten the memo.
More snow fell from Friday into
Saturday, meaning people in
Boardman and Sharon
woke up to snow outside.
Dr. Richard Alley is a Geologist
Professor at Penn State
University.
He was also a part of a group
that won a Nobel Prize for their
research on climate
change. Alley says a slight
change in the weather
and the seasons may have
happened.
As of Saturday morning, the
National Weather Service
measured over five
inches of snow at the Youngstown
airport during April 2018.
Last April, 2 inches fell...and
in April 2016 nearly 9 inches
inches fell.
In fact, three out of the top 10
snowiest April's recorded at
Youngstown's airport have come
within the last 15 years.
