Wider weather episode

Low pressure tracked just south of southern New England on the 18th. It brought rain that changed over to a wet snow overnight on the 17th into the 18th that clung to newly-leaved trees. Only 3 to locally 6 inches of snow fell, highest in the higher elevations of northeast CT, northwest RI, and interior MA. However, it was enough to cause some tree damage across the region.
