Sick of snow? Well, spring's official arrival Friday (6:45 p.m. EDT) should offer a little light at the end of the tunnel.

However, winter's official end doesn't mean snow is completely off the table, yet.

Winter Storm Ultima is bringing snow to the Northeast just as winter is officially ending and spring is arriving.

Average date of last measurable snow of the season, snow that typically falls after March 20, and the percent of the season's snow that falls after March 20.

Perspective: The Last Snow of the Season

If you're truly sick of snow, you're probably wondering when the last snow of the season occurs.

While every season is different, the season's last accumulating snow typically falls from late February as far south as the Nation's Capital, to late March in southern New England, to April in Maine.

In snow-weary Boston, it's par for the course to pick up another 3 to 4 inches of snow after March 20. Bangor, Maine can expect another 7 to 8 inches of spring snow, comprising roughly one-eighth their season's average snowfall.

Last spring, 0.3 inch of snow fell in Boston on April 16. Boston's previous record snow season featured an April 7-10, 1996 dumping of 7.3 inches of snow.

Of course, we'd be remiss not mentioning the April Fools' Blizzard of 1997, when 25.4 inches of snow in just 24 hours paralyzed Boston and parts of southern New England.
