Spring Has Sprung?!?

Drivers may have been taken by surprise on Monday morning when snow began falling during what is officially billed as the first week of spring. But they'd better adjust their attitude — a mix of morning snow with later rain is the National Weather Service prediction for Basking Ridge every day through Thursday.

Township police reported that four accidents took place on snow-covered roads between about 8 to 10 a.m. on Monday.

State police reported that Routes 287 and 78 were slushy and slippery at around the same time.

But residents should "think snow" before they open their eyes on Tuesday morning.

The National Weather Service predicts that rain before 2 a.m. will switch over to a mix with snow at about 4 a.m. Tuesday. Chance of precipitation is predicted at 60 percent.

Township residents can also expect a mix of rain, snow and sleet on Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service, with precipitation turning to rain after about 11 a.m.

Thursday morning also may have a little snow before 8 a.m., the weather service predicts.

For those of you looking at this as a last chance to get some real skiing in, real snow showers are predicted for the next few days in Vermont.
